The faceless monk

At least it's not mud on his face (a big disgrace) but only snow! This pic is still from the last snow we got. Today it is supposed to be 40 but tomorrow it is only predicted to be 29 for a high and -1 for a low with a slight chance of snow...

Today, Terri, Judi, Betty and Debbie are going to Albq (the big city) to go to the Kimo Theatre to see "Menopause the Musical" I will have an update and review in a few days. We are spending the night and doing a little sight-seeing in Old Town. Ought to be pretty groovy for this peri-menopausal woman! We will be back in time for the -1 degree night though so our husbands won't freeze to death!

Tabby yes and no

Tabby where she likes to be..... AND.......................Tabby where she doesn't like to be!

Raven's Rugs

David has tried his hand at rag rug weaving. He made his own frame loom and I helped him tear the rags that I have been saving to make my own rag rug. I still have bunches more but I can't believe he got the jump on me and got them made so quickly!! The first one (the mostly blue and green) is a bit loose and we are afraid to wash it yet, will be for his side of the bed. The multi-color one is for the hall way and is shaped like a ladie's dress! Not exactly the plan but we like the outcome.

Wheel of change

This is a wheel we had made when we were trying to start up a cooperative in the Socorro area. It represents the 4 seasons and the objectives we had in mind for the coop which was to be a place for not only artisans but where people would have a location and outlet for a small business endeavor. It didn't work out. A lot of things like that don't but we got a lovely sculpture out of the deal.
Maybe sometime we can start something like that out here. Recycling would certainly be a main objective since there is nothing like that for 150 miles (Albq).

Rainwalker Mesa

Click on the picture to see it better. This is the entrance to our homestead.

Why do we have a carport?

The snow blew from the west and covered the vehicles despite the "safety" of the carport!

Tabby Kitty

Meet Tabby Kitty, the newest addition to our family on RWM. We got her just before the new year and have been spending time letting her get to know us. Possibly born in the wild she was taken to a shelter and became very frightened of humans. She took to our 11 1/2 yr old cat Tigger right away and they are very good friends. She likes to play with cat toys or Tigger's tail, whichever is closer. She doesn't even mind Roly Poly, our big black dog as much as she does the human species but she is coming along and we think will be a lap kitty soon enough. She is a brown and grey but has the cutest red spots behind both ears and on her face. She stays close to Uncle Tig, as we call him when he happens to have little ones about and hopefully the next picture I post will have her on someone's lap. If not, she seems very happy just the way she is now and therefore we won't begrudge her not becoming human lovers just yet. We got several inches of new snow the last couple of days so all is white on the Mesa this morning. Supposed to get up in the 40's the next few days so should have mud again soon! Yea...
