As most of you have now read, or heard from me directly, we are leaving Santa Fe, New Mexico, to return "home", as Shasta says, "and none too soon! Let's 'shake a leg' and do it . . . now!" Of course, we are not going back to MuRefuge, rather we are looking to buy a small house, i.e., bungalow, in Petaluma. I trust just the "perfect" one will have just posted for sale as we arrive at our short term rental in Sebastopol.
AND I am considering the wonderful time we have all spent in Santa Fe as an extended vacation of 3 years and 4 months. We have experienced the Pueblo native culture and visited stunningly beautiful sites that only New Mexico has. The entertainment before the pandemic was world class and only a few minutes drive from our home. The neighborhood in which we live is the very best that the city has to offer. And as Dwight says, "this is one of the top two homes I have ever lived in." We will sorely miss our Stamm home which will go on the market March 06, 2021.
And as my friend Rob said upon receiving the picture of our Prius under 7 1/2 inches of snow: "this is your farewell from Mother Nature."
The climate catastrophe has an Arctic Air Mass hovering over most of the Central United States including New Mexico. Record snow levels along with way below freezing temperatures is causing much distress . . . and has now for more than a week in some areas. There were 10 inches in the Seattle area, enough for Dwight's daughter to snowshoe out her front door over the weekend past.
