Jaconita is a short string of homes in the Pojoaque Valley, close enough to the Rio Grande to hear it moving in the cottonwoods and close enough to Black Mesa to watch its shadow travel all afternoon. Pojoaque Septic Service keeps lawns here mowed, edged and trimmed on irrigated valley ground that grows things willingly. With the Jemez standing west and the Sangre de Cristos east, the light changes twice a day, and a cut lawn takes it differently each time. Cleanups keep a yard clear of whatever the wind carries down the valley in spring. The result is modest and lovely — even grass, a defined margin, and a place that looks kept in a valley full of places that are.
