I wanted to share some pictures of the magical ranch I live on. We feel like we live in a time warp here. Once you pull onto the property life seems to slow down, it is wonderful!
There are delightfully aged abandoned buildings scattered about.
I would love to restore this before it is too far gone... It was built around 1915 used to be a stable for horses.
The old wood is so beautiful. No mater how hard folks try you just can't mimic the look of aged wood.
It has the most glorious rafters.
A tree has grown up right through the middle... isn't that wonderful? If I had the money I would make this building into the most amazing home... and I would definitely keep the tree.
Or I guess I should say trees...
Here you can see the top of the trees, they are rather huge!
All of the buildings have such beautiful doors.
There is a paddock adjoining the building with another tree going out of the side...
Looking down the front of the building towards another paddock. Those are the foreman's horses in the distance.
Another view of, it is so magical especially in the setting sun. Part of what is so lovely here is how peaceful everything is. Just the sound of the ocean in the distance and the birds. As the evening comes in the crickets start to sing. Just beautiful!
My husband is doing some work nearby and we both feel like is it almost a sacrilege to start up the power tools.
However some "noise" suits the place wonderfully...
This is Tomas, our neighbor.
He has worked on the ranch for 30 plus years.
Can't you just hear the music for the "Milagro Bean field Wars" playing softly in the distance?
We even have old Amorante's pig living down at the end of the street...
If you haven't seen the movie I can't recommend it enough! Directed by Robert Redford back in the 90's it is about a small magical New Mexico village and how they adjust with the modern era. Absolutely delightful!
Gosh I love this little "Milagro" ranch...
Blessings!
