Weekly WeatherCafé Sierra Negra enters our fourth year!We thank Cafe Sierra Negra for renewing their sponsorship of the Abiquiu News and congrats on four years!
*** We have made it through another winter, and are now ramping up for a busy Spring, Summer and Fall season. We have new, blue, picnic tables that will stay permanently on our front patio and soon sunflowers and amaranth will be blooming in the planters. Check out our daily specials, that fit every taste and diet. We make our food from scratch using fresh local produce, natural meat and whole grains. We purchase as much produce as we can from our partner farms, Querencia Creations and Monte Vista Organics, and we are always looking for new farm partnerships. During the winter months, we framed in our portal with help from our landlord, Dennis Liddy, creating an additional room for refrigeration and prep work. This improvement will create a more efficient workspace for the staff and comfort for our customers. We’ve added local beers from Santa Fe and Albuquerque, plus new desserts and baked goods. We continue to serve local roaster, Ohori’s, organic coffee and espresso and will be upgrading our organic wine list, which includes wines from California and Europe. A big thank you to all our local customers who have been visiting us daily and weekly over this past three years. We make it our highest priority to provide you with delicious, healthy and affordable food. We cook with love for you! We are looking for a few new folks to join our team in all areas. If you like to stay busy and have service and or kitchen experience you are ideal. We pay a competitive hourly rate and tips are shared equally. If interested call Melodie at 505-685-0086. Or email your resume to cafesierranegranm@gmail.com. Here’s to a Happy Healthy 2024! www.cafesierranegra-nm.com cafesierranegranm@gmail.com In Gratitude Casa Manz / OnLocationNMThanks to Casa Manz (David, Andie & Maximiño Manzanares) for renewing their sponsorship. Last year they navigated the Writer's Guild and SAG strikes which halted production across the globe. They continued to produce and work on awesome fashion projects including Banana Republic, Orvis and with the incredible Annie Liebowitz. You might recognize some of the local canines in the shoots! One of the great things is that when asked about dogs, trucks, cars, props, horses, and locations - Casa Manz likes to keep our community involved.
David and Mamximiño continue their musical journey with brother and uncle Michael Manzanares. They play a couple of times a month at El Callejon in Santa Fe. Now with warmer weather, they look forward to making more music in Abiquiu! Now that the strikes are over production is back in business! David is already juggling several film & tv projects on the horizon!. This was a great year with the amazing success of Oppenheimmer AND Ghost Ranch has an incredible standing set which is waiting for the next project! David and Andie continue to manage production (film, tv, print, photography) at Ghost Ranch. Andie continues to produce fashion, works on the Abiquiu Library Board and recently she joined the team at the Abiquiu Inn helping out with Sales & Marketing & Events Maximiño heads back to Stanford to finish their degree. this Spring and looks to graduate in 2025 Casa Manz LOVES being in the community and looks forward to collaborating, making music, connecting, creating, sharing and doing the really good work!

[Española, NM] – [March 13, 2024] – The North Central Regional Transit District (NCRTD) Board of Directors at its March 2024 board meeting awarded an Architecture and Engineering Services Contract in the amount of $342,269.15 to Living Designs Group Architects. This significant step forward in the development of the District's proposed workforce housing project in Española, New Mexico, is made possible by a $500,000 grant from the state of New Mexico, awarded as part of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s Housing Initiative.
The NCRTD Board Directors unanimously voted in Feb. 2024 to enter into a funding agreement with the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) to complete the design and engineering phase of the workforce housing development. This endeavor aims to alleviate the affordable housing crisis in New Mexico, particularly in the North Central region. The proposed development will be situated on three vacant acres owned by the District, adjacent to a seven-acre affordable housing development being planned by the city of Española. The project's scope of work includes the design and engineering phase, encompassing conceptual layouts, architectural plans, engineering studies, and other related tasks necessary for the successful development of the workforce housing project. Living Designs Group Architects, selected through a competitive process, will bring their expertise and innovative approach to create sustainable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing housing solutions. Located in Taos, New Mexico, Living Designs Group Architects has contributed to the economic and physical development of the region for over 20 years by providing design services under public and private contracts throughout the state of New Mexico and Southern Colorado. The firm delivers insight and creativity to the process of making regionally appropriate buildings that are products of the owners needs and the economic conditions that make them possible. Project Background: In 2022, the District conducted a study in partnership with the North Central New Mexico Economic Development District (NCNMEDD) to assess the need for workforce housing and identify housing priorities for current staff. A pro forma document was developed in collaboration with NCNMEDD to determine potential costs, revenues, funding strategies, conceptual layouts, and unit mix for the estimated $4.5 million project. The DFA funding for design and engineering requires no local match, and the full cost will be covered through the DFA Housing Initiatives program. All funding must be expended by June 30, 2024, the end of the State of New Mexico’s fiscal year. The NCRTD remains committed to working closely with local stakeholders and community members throughout the design and development phases of the project to ensure it meets the needs of the community and contributes positively to the region's growth and prosperity. For more information about the North Central Regional Transit District and its initiatives, please visit ncrtd.org. # # # The North Central Regional Transit District (NCRTD) connects communities and pueblos across 10,000 square miles throughout north central New Mexico, including Española, Los Alamos, Santa Fe and Taos. The signature Blue Bus™ provides service on 28 Fixed and Flex routes two Demand-Response routes and free MyBlue™ app-based rideshare service for Taos and Española. New Exhibit - Colcha of New Mexico:
|
Abiquiu, NM (March 10, 2024) The Abiquiu Inn has launched a new exhibit in the Upstairs Gallery in honor of Women’s History Month.
Colcha of New Mexico: The Legacy of Beatrice Maestas Sandoval opens today and will be on display until April 30, 2024. Included in the exhibit are her Colcha works, rugs and tinwork. March is designated Women’s History Month and honors the contributions by women to American history. |
Colchera Beatrice Maestas Sandoval was born in 1947 in Las Vegas, NM. She was raised alongside her six siblings in the adobe home her father built. As a child, Beatrice heard stories about her great-grandmother, Martita Baca, a weaver whose portrait still hangs in the family home, where Beatrice now resides. These stories inspired Beatrice to pursue an interest in weaving, Colcha embroidery, tinwork, and other traditional Spanish colonial arts. Deeply connected to her roots as well as to the Land of Enchantment (and its many colors), she was inspired to create her own natural dues, spin her own yarn, and weave her own sabinilla cloth from the fleece of local Navajo-Churro sheep. Beatrice is a beloved teacher, as well as the longtime Curator of Textiles and Volunteer Coordinator at El Rancho de las Golondrinas (1995 – 2009). For two decades she participated in Spanish Market, where she was awarded the Grand Prize, Best of Show, as well as numerous other awards. Among many honors, Piecework Magazine named her Needle Worker of the Year in 2005. In 2012, she was named Centennial Artist of the Year at the Fiber Arts Festival in Albuquerque. Beatrice is proud that her artwork and the processes associated with each piece hold true to original “tradiciones”, and that she continues to preserve her Spanish culture and heritage.
Colcha is a style of embroidery unique to northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. It is a folk art steeped in history, traditions, and cultural expression. The word colcha means bedcover. During the Spanish colonial era, the wool from Navajo – Churro sheep was spun into yarn, then dyed with local plants indigenous to New Mexico’s high desert. These yarns were made into sabinilla, a woven cloth. Colcha has been called “a tribute to the women who traveled the Camino Real”. They traveled with sheep and a needle which led them to create truly beautiful art. Woven blankets from the fleece of the churros were prime trade items for the early settlers of northern New Mexico. When their own blankets became worn the repair turned decorative. Floral designs led to the wool-on-wool embroidery that became the Colcha embroidery we replicate today.
Now recognized as a Spanish Colonial art form, colcha is celebrated by artists throughout New Mexico, as well as Spanish Market. The Pueblo de Abiquiu Library & Cultural Center recently established its own local group, Las Colcheras de Abiquiu. The group meets monthly to learn and share in this historical art.
The Abiquiu Inn is a thirty-room boutique hotel. Their restaurant, Café Abiquiu, is under the leadership by Chef Rey Melton. The Abiquiu Inn supports and showcases artists and their work in their gallery, dining room and The Shop.

Incoming Kestrels are in for a big surprise when they arrive! With help from the Abiquiu Lake Amigos, we were able to put up all of the new kestrel boxes.
This week's Creature Feature is all about New Mexico's favorite tuxedoed corvid, the Black-billed Magpie! These boisterous, clever birds are found throughout much of western North America, primarily spending time in tree thickets near rivers and in open grassland or farmland.
Black-billed Magpies are opportunistic omnivores and eat a variety of foods, and they are often seen snacking on ticks and other parasites that they pick off of large herbivores like deer, elk, and moose. This is an example of a symbiotic relationship, specifically a mutualistic one, in which two animals interact in a way that benefits both of them. The magpie gets a high-protein meal and the deer is relieved of their blood-sucking parasites - everybody wins! Aside from insects, Black-billed Magpies frequently eat carrion, fruit, seeds, and occasionally they will prey on small mammals.
Black-billed Magpies begin building their nests out of twigs and mud in late winter, spending about a month and a half on the construction before the nest is ready for use. Chicks hatch in spring and stay in the nest for around a month before fledging. Newly-fledged magpies stay near their nest and are fed by their parents for a bit longer, then they typically join a flock and learn to find their own food or collaborate with other magpies to steal food from larger predators!
One of the most distinctive physical features on a Black-billed Magpie is their long, iridescent black tail. Those tail feathers are more than just a fashion statement - they act like a rudder while the bird is in flight, giving them the ability to maneuver and change directions quickly. Black-billed Magpies also use their tails to enhance communication with each other, flicking it and fanning the feathers out as part of courtship displays. If you have a tail that dramatic and gorgeous, why not flaunt it?
NMWC is home to two Black-billed Magpie Ambassador Animals, Cody (first photo in this post; the second one features hungry nestling magpie patients in our hospital in 2022) and Pica, both of whom are non-releasable because they are imprinted on humans. Come visit Cody and Pica and get a look at this fascinating species up close!

“Most artists look for something fresh to paint; frankly I find that quite boring.
For me it is much more exciting to find fresh meaning in something familiar.”
Andrew Wyeth
If you have ever asked yourself: “How can I create a much more exciting painting than this photo”?, then you should consider this workshop. And if you are not sure how to answer it, OR you are not sure how to start, then this watercolor workshop is absolutely meant for you.
We will not gather to duplicate or even replicate photos; our purpose is to research the landscape, use photos as a reference, and then paint our own masterpieces. You’ll find excitement in Ghost Ranch scenery to paint, and then I will help you with notes and guidelines and help you understand how I approach a painting.~ Finding an image with a strong composition; foreground, middle ground, and background details are equally important.
~ Preparing a value sketch, correct linear perspective, focal points
~ How to use color (the lightest lights, the darkest darks, and everything in between
~ Light and shadow
~ and so much more!
This workshop will not only include hands on painting, but daily demonstrations, class discussions, and one-on-one instruction.
I will provide reference photos of Chimney Rock and Box Canyon. Although I use a southwest palette, please know that you are welcome to work in your own.

Casa Urraca Press has created a place for locals in our area to recommend books to each other, and a place to find book suggestions with a personal touch.
This week, Amanda recommends Chocolat, by Joanne Harris: "I figured I would love this book because of loving the film for a long time. But the differences were a great surprise. It was darker and more magical. Both a win win for me. The literary use of food and magic (witchy protagonist and Romani travelers) work well to counter the religious insular community. Highly recommend. It will make you want to become a kitchen witch. It will remind you to celebrate and explore your desires with purpose. It will remind you to pause before you judge what you don't initially understand. And it will remind you that if you are powerful (especially a creative woman) insecure people will try to bring you down any chance they get. It's a book that has the potential to make you a better human."

Daphne
Daphne will soon be "paw-roled" from our Paws in the Pen program at the Penitentiary of New Mexico! Daphne's expressive eyes and smiley face will melt you into an actual puddle of love. This 2yo 53lb mama weaned her last litter before entering our prison training program, and she's ready to find a home that will fill her up with all the things she’s missed out on the streets. Daphne is a sugarcube shepherd/Akita mix who has an abiding love for treats (don’t we all?!) and is just honestly a happy heart wrapped in fur. This gorgeous gal can go from regal to derp in two seconds flat just by relaxing her ears into airplane mode; she’s friendly with everyone, and she loves to play with other dogs. Daphne is very curious and polite, and she was even a total star at a recent vet appointment too! Apply on our website to schedule a meet and greet. www.espanolahumane.org 505-753-8662
