Something good to listen to: Pandora Internet Radio and more specifically a song Morningtime by Sarah Dashew.
Here are some pictures from this morning's walk. A Community Fair, Yard Sale and Farmer's market on the plaza.
Church Street.
This is a recycling place that apparently takes junk metal. No name, or hours posted -
but there is one very interesting sign.
You'd think there'd be something behind that sign besides sinks and restaurant type kitchen fixtures, wouldn't you?
I would love to have a screen porch like this.
If this house were anywhere near an ocean or large body of water, I'd call that Widow's Walk on the rooftop.
If I ever won the lottery, I might want to buy a house like this and make it liveable. I'm a home-owner by necessity, not by desire, but I could totally fall for a house with porches.
And that's all for now - headed south to Truth or Consequences to the RiverBend Hot Springs.

Love your blog...stumbled on it today by mistake. I'm looking forward to checking in regularly.
I'd be torn between the last two. Love the Widow's Walk-cum-garden.
I think the green in the Widow's Walk is actually a tree behind the house...gardening on the roof, though, seems to be becoming all the rage in some places. Thinking about all that dirt and water pressing down on the roof makes me nervous. Dirt is heavy! So is water!
So it is. Bugger!
nice. It's nice to see that Socorro hasn't change much in the past 13 years. :)
Jason, thanks for posting a link to this blog.
Blogger -- thanks for the memories!
I once went to a really fun Halloween party in that last house, probably 1989. It was when The Cure was really big and pretty much everyone dressed in black with white faces. Later it probably would have been called Goth or something. Very fun.
Wow - cool! What a great place for a Halloween party. Thanks for stopping in. I'll try to post more pics soon - is there any part of town, any particular street you'd like to see a current photo of?
Much changes in 13 years...
I think a couple of the houses in that Church St. area were originally built for mothers/wives from out East that had husbands working in Socorro during the mining boom and they wanted to build them homes to remind them of living out east so as not to feel so homesick.....some of those places are sooo cool.
