Doubled

Rio Grande at 5:30 a.m. this morning running about 4 feet higher than the night before.

We got a major thunderstorm at midnight last night that dumped almost 3/4 of an inch of rain. When I got up, the rain gauge showed double the amount of rain from when I went to bed. We now have 1.43 inches of rain for the month. I did another five-mile walk in the rain again this morning.

The Rio Grande at 7:00 a.m. this morning up another 2 or more feet from 5:30 a.m.

The place where I stepped down to take the 5:30 a.m. photo was under water at 7:00 a.m.

Jake met me at the gate and got a short ride to my parking spot when I got home this afternoon.

The river had gone down about 4 feet by dusk. The place I step down to take photos was no longer underwater, but too muddy to step on, unless you’re a dog.

Water was still flow the full width of the river at dusk.

Do You See What I see

Sunrise

The persistence of pareidolia. Left to right: Wolf’s head. Three faces above the wolf’s head. Head and shoulders of a bear lying on its back. Kitty in the sky. A person looking down on from the top. A long-eared hound running over a fox that’s lying on its back over Resa’s Wolf Tree, and a pig in the lower right (see my key at the end of the post).

Sleeping in Past Sunrise

Freezing temperatures and a higher river level produced more fog this morning.

A more colorful dawn

While Jake and I were out walking in freezing temperatures at daybreak, the cats were still asleep on the bed when we got back before sunrise. They were still sleeping in after sunrise.

Marble says one of many advantages she has over being a dog is that she can sleep in while the dog and stupid paparazzo have to go on a walk in the freezing cold.

Sunrise

Sandias @ 8:57 am

Gwendolyn’s favorite pose of late

“I didn’t do it, Spunk! No! Really! I swear! I did not sneak and eat your food!”

“Yeah! Right, Jako Dawg! You can fool that pesky, pathetic paparazzo with your puppy dog eyes, but you can’t fool me!”

“You believe me, don’t you, paparazzo?”

New Cat Stairs

Lonely Dove at sunrise

I replaced the cat stairs on the wall for the cats to get to the hammocks with two sets of prefab kitty stairs. The previous stairs I built from scrap would was made of mohagany. Belafante started to perch on the kitty stairs and chew on the wood. Mohagany in poisonous, so I repaced the stairs with a nno-toxic white wood. It was much less expensive to buy prefab kitty stairs than build new stairs from scratch.
