Taos Mountains
I’m writing from my two week artist residency at HEREKEKE, about an hour north of Taos in Northern New Mexico.
This residency is just what I needed. I’ve had lots of time to reflect on the past year and four months of touring, catch up on administrative work, take long walks, catch up on rest, and write. I’ve already written four new songs in the week I’ve been here. The people who run the residency have asked me to return for a longer period next year. I’m gonna work it into my schedule. It’s such a gift.
Here are some photos from around the ranch:
The acequia that brings us our water.
One of the ponds frozen over with the sunset behind it.

The milking goats.
The sheep with the curly horns are Navajo Churro Sheep.
Norwegian Fjord Ponies.

I completely envy you this trip. It looks nothing short of breathtaking. We look forward to your eventual return to Seattle.
