Cranes foraging in the Rio Grande at twilight
I got a half ton of crusher fines this morning to fill in potholes on my road.
Grape leaves
The big red hill.
I find it funny readers have been referring to the Sandia Mountains (Watermelon Mountains) as a hill. The Sandias stand at 11,000 feet (3,353 meters) above sea level. They are 6,000 feet (1,829 meters) higher than my property.
The garden got about 3/4 inch of rain over the past few days, and with a good soaking from the irrigation, the grapes have gone wild (along with most of the plants on the property), and climbed into the apple tree, where they are dangling among the apples. I’m sure most self respecting winers would not allow their grapes to mix with their apples, but when we get a little water in our dry climate, grapes (and a whole lot of other stuff) happen!
