One of my favorite Santa Fe events is coming up next weekend and I know you’re going to want to put it on your calendar. ARTsmart’s Edible Art Tour (EAT) will be held on Friday and Saturday, June 10 and 11.

Those of us blessed enough to call Santa Fe home already know the TRUTH…..Santa Fe is the BEST place to visit and live!

Here’s a great opportunity to show your love for Santa Fe: VOTE in the Conde Nast Traveler 2016 Readers’ Choice Awards.

One of the best things about owning a home in Santa Fe is that all your best friends want to come and visit. A lot. (Some folks might say this is one of the worst things about owning a home in Santa Fe. But I love having company.)

They especially want to come during the holidays.

We did it again! Santa Fe was chosen as number 2 among Huffington Post readers in their Top Five Small Cities list posted on October 29, 2015.

Santa Fe is the home of amazing lodging. Eldorado Hotel, Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi, Inn of the Governors, Inn at Loretto. . .and one of my personal favorites, Hotel Santa Fe. The list is long and varied. I’m happy to help you find a place if you’re stumped on all the choices.

It’s another beautiful day in paradise. Our paradise. Santa Fe is aglow with color this month. Here’s another amazing shot of the aspens up on Hyde Park Road.

We are quick to say, always, that we have the best weather in the world in Santa Fe. And we’re right.

The weather here is perfect. Cool mornings, warm days with lots of sunshine. Even in the winter, a snowstorm seldom debilitates the city.

Last day of Fiesta! Don’t miss the Historical Hysterical Parade through downtown today beginning at 1 p.m. Here’s one of my favorite photos from last year.

If I keep talking in superlatives all the time, people are going to think I’m somewhat of a nut about Santa Fe events. But, hey, this really IS one of the most entertaining, funny, sweet and traditional Santa Fe events you can view, or even participate in.

I love Fiestas de Santa Fe. And I love that we do it to honor La Conquistadora, the oldest madonna brought to the U.S. long before it was the U.S. – in 1625.
