Eventually the project will recommence in earnest on the 30-acres, but only after the lawsuit is settled, the house in Corrales is sold, and we have lived comfortably in the miners’ cabin in Madrid for some time. We need a break from the madness of doing too many things at a time and really need a more sensible routine. How long all this will take is anyone’s guess, but hopefully we will be in a position to make at least baby strides soon.

One of the baby strides happened this week. The 30-acre spread has been in need of a name other than “the land” or “the property.” It will need a name not only because we need to call it something, but also because we would like to put a sign at the end of the drive other than “305”.

And the name we’ve chosen is a perfect fit for the place. One of the more remarkable things about the wilderness out there is the population of extremely huge jackrabbits that inhabit the area. These rabbits are so very large that at first glance one might think that they are coyotes. Seriously, they are huge. I have been calling them “riding rabbits” since as far as I can tell it might be possible to saddle one and go for a spin…. Well, at least a child could go for a spin, not me.

So yesterday Susan came up with the name for the property: Riding Rabbit Ranch. It’s perfect.
