Vacation

It’s a beautiful evening here in Far West Texas.  I never get tired of skies like this.

But right now I’m taking you to Arizona, where we spent a glorious five days during the last week of July camping on the East Fork of the Black River in the White Mountains.  I actually have little to say.  The beauty of the place speaks for itself.  Glorious.

I know.  The flowers were amazing, and there were so many varieties!  We ended at the Catwalk in Glenwood, NM, and if you’re ever there on Sunday, Mass is at 4:00.  Love to all.

 

 

Let’s start lookin’ at critters!

I mentioned a long, long time ago that I would post about critters.  Cause if there’s one thing (as a group) there’s a lot of around here – its critters!

Here’s the first millipede I’ve seen this season.  Nice and fat!  About 10 inches.  I moved him off the road so he wouldn’t have any unforeseen mishaps.
