We celebrated our favorite event a couple of weeks ago: Luminations. We light the nursery with many candles, lanterns and luminaries (Connie calls them farlitos, the New Mexico name). The nursery is beautiful all lit up.
The red lanterns were new this year. As the night wore on and got darker, they glowed brighter. It was stunning. We had some trouble with the wiring - Kendel had to plug and unplug, add one at a time to make it work. He promised to re-wire more for next year so we can light every path with red lanterns.
Chris lit the outdoor fireplace for the first time and kept that fire going all evening. It was lovely and cozy back there. She had people come to visit all evening. We hope to light that fire during other events in cool weather.
Even though we are closed early in the week, we have been busy getting ready for spring. Mary is seriously potting up baby Thyme plants. Aren't they cute?
The greenhouses aren't quite full yet but well on the way. This one is full of little seedlings waiting their turn at the potting table.
Mary's dog Annie gets to help. It sure does make her happy to be with her mommy.
