One pleasant summer afternoon we ventured out for a garden/home tour.....
The first property was on Hillside across from this ancient doorway.....
And up, up the hill....along the way, this inscription is set into one of the retaining walls. What it is all about baffles me.....

Alice leads the way into the garden of this home--listed as "The Vivid Perennials" garden....
First you pass the pool--with a view of the entire city beneath it.....
I could get used to this.....
Then there's a lovely garden.....
Set high above the city with the chaise lounges looking over all of Santa Fe......

Goldilocks found this bed to be "just right"!
A bit of statuary at the doorstep....
A perfect spot for reading....
Some gorgeous light fixtures.....

Lots of fireplaces and lots of art.....

A beautiful painted window....
Sisi is enjoying this gorgeous house....
There are several terraces.....
Then on to the next home in Tesuque....

This one is listed as "A country meadow" because the home with its manicured gardens looks down upon a lovely meadow....

This property was huge--9,000 plus sq. feet--this is just one of several "great rooms"....
It has some great accent pieces.....
A very customized vanity....
Big furniture for a really BIG bedroom....
View off the portal along the living room of the main unit.....

Even the shed area was landscaped.....
The long expanse looking from the dining room is just as long going the other direction....
Sisi appreciates the finer things in life....
Garden statuary.....
The final property was called "Under the majestic cottonwoods". But I guess I was so tired, I only got a picture of three women in the bathroom, Despite this, a good time was had by all!
