I had my early childhood conference—a terrific one—this morning at the Western New Mexico University Child Development Center. One highlight was a drummer, Rosario Carelli, who had all the conference participants using African drums and other instruments. It was an inspiring finale! After the conference I walked all around the historic downtown, including the Big Ditch park that runs right through the downtown. I shot a photo of a guitar player in front of the Silver City Food Coop, a place a love.
