Most New Mexicans get excited when they see clouds. Well, I do. It does mean we have a chance for rain.

The Super Moon was this past weekend. I did not have a chance to take shots of it on Saturday evening because we were getting some showers. However, on Sunday I did take these. I took these just on the other side of our garden looking straight east.

10 pounds of sugar is lasting us 3 1/2 days. This has been a magical summer having these hummers in our back yard. We have 4 varieties; black-chinned, broadtail, caliope,and rufous.

Talk about being opportunistic, this young praying mantis was sitting right above where one of our hummingbird feeders is. It was waiting for the ants to come. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was served on that day.

The Fuji apple tree is doing well. One of Bev's favorites.

I was working on our new puppy house foundation when Bev called to me. It was time for a break. She had picked this out of her garden.

I tore down Chili's old kennel and we will use the 6'x8' cement foundation that was there. The puppy house will be 8'x12' with a 12'x12 cement foundation. Chili's name is still in the cement when I poured it in 03.

All I had to do is get my shovel and take the Mule to the arroyo to get all the sand and gravel I need for the project.

Getting ready to mix cement when my hired hand decided to take a break!

The "Copy Cat" hummingbird. Many see these in the evening light and mistake them for hummingbirds. They are humingbird moths. You will see them laying their eggs on tomato plants. The green caterpillar can get quite large and they have a voracious appetite.

When flying they roll up their very long tongue so that it doesn't get in the way.

I don't know about you but I am having a hard time waiting for teal season to get here.
