One night, before I left for the month in the Pacific Northwest, Craig turned to me and said lets leave Austin. We never looked back. My allergies and the heat and humidity here are tough on me, so we found a house that we love between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Placitas is lovely and we think that dry heat does matter! Hence,the emotional posts about my pet sitting business Happy Tails and my beloved people of Austin. So big adventure for us. Craig has been working non stop since May to get the house on the market. This news wont matter to my cyber Facebook friends. And to my other friends, I am very sad. But you are all invited to come and visit and I will be visiting my home town. We are excited and looking forward to our new life in New Mexico. About Placitas Ask three Placitans what they like best about living in Placitas and you may get six different answers. One will say it is being so far from everything, another, being so close to everything — and both will be right. For some it is the peacefulness, for others the proximity to hiking trails. Most will mention the perfect weather, four distinct seasons without harsh extremes. But almost everyones answer will include something about the views. Many homes look north toward the hills and mesas, all the way to the Jemez range and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains north of Santa Fe. Others face the mountain, that smooth yet imposing spine of the Sandias which covers with snow in the winter. Some homes get both views. In another pleasant paradox of Placitas life, these comforting views are always the same, and yet they change constantly thanks to the suns evolving angles and the seasonal rebirth of high desert flowers and shrubs. With its convenient proximity to both the Albuquerque-Rio Rancho metro area and Santa Fe, Placitas is recognized as a unique – and a uniquely situated – bedroom community for these areas.
