Finishing Up in Magdalena, Byrd and Street in Austin

Sunday was a very quiet day in Magdalena.  I finished the door prize painting out on the porch at Peppers Art Gallery.  A few folks came by to visit.  Some artists came to remove their consignment artwork from Peppers.  It seems like Marky is really closing the gallery, now.  Sad to see, but she needs to concentrate on her health.  Whether she will is another story.  If no one buys the art gallery it will be a loss for Magdalena.  It will probably become just a rental house.  Anybody wanting to move to Magdalena and have a gallery with a greenhouse to boot?

We are headed from Socorro, New Mexico, to Albuquerque today.  It is still pretty warm here and showers are forecast.  The showers so far have been far and few between.  There were flash flood warnings last night, mainly as it has been so dry and any run off will cause flash floods.  I thought it was raining in Magdalena last night, but it did not.  It is supposed to be 84 degrees in Albuquerque today.  Not too bad, eh?

I will post tonight about the door prize winner and more art news.

If you are in Austin, Byrd and Street are having their party for their new CD release.  The CD is really fine, we got a copy before we left.  If you haven't been to one of their shows, you are missing a good time and great music. Check it out tonight at Threadgills and say hello for us:
