I had the pleasure of visiting the ranch of a family friend over the Thanksgiving holiday. The snow was blowing in as we were walking the property, obscuring most of the view, but certainly not hindering the beauty of this place. As always, adventures such as this cause me to yearn for land, solitude and animals! 600 acres, a horse barn with caretaker quarters above, a lovely main house, and grazing livestock…all looking out over the very special Mesa Verde. My favorite part, aside from the rolling meadows and surrounding mountains, was the barn – a contemporary take on a western institution.
