And the scent from the flowering trees is sure to knock your socks off. I can’t seem to get enough of the joy of spring. It makes me want to be out there enjoying every second.

Docenas de aficionados a la historia de todo el estado, e incluso de Albuquerque, se preparan para hacer historia en Julian este fin de semana. Limpian sus mosquetes y equipo de batalla, y pulen los botones de sus uniformes del siglo XIX. Recrean una parte del Gran Ejército Francés de Napoleón durante las Guerras Napoleónicas a principios del siglo XIX en Europa. Lo recrean con tanta realismo, hasta la última gota de pólvora, que lo llaman historia viviente.

Several dozen history buffs from across the state and as far as Albuquerque are getting ready to make some history in Julian this weekend. They’re cleaning their muskets and battle gear and polishing the buttons on their 19th century uniforms. They’re re-enacting a portion of Napoleon’s French Grande Army during the Napoleonic Wars in the early 1800s in Europe. They make it so real, down to last bit of gun powder, that they call it living history.
