Happy Thanksgiving from Rancho de Chimayo!

A perfect late-fall day in New Mexico–sun, blue sky, snow on Mount Baldy.  A crow was preening on top of this road sign when we turned north on NM 76 to travel the last few miles to Chimayó.

Once seated in one of the many dining rooms of the adobe hacienda, we had to decide:  turkey and dressing with cranberry sauce, or tacos and enchiladas with red chile.

After pumpkin pie and sopapillas we stopped in the courtyard to take photos of each other and to pay our respects to St. Francis.
