THE RIO GRAND IS FLOODING

while made it to town today, something not even thought about in the last few days, but visited my neighbor, Clyde last night and watched the skys change. Here are a few pics of the show, as well as what is believed to be a red racer snake about 5' long which was in the road last monday, a pic of the out house and swing as well. Need to fix the trailer lights again, so that i can get to the city and get materials for the next phase of building.

Gonna rain again

the ants arer hungry too.

there has been a lot of action in the hurmans peak neighbor hood. A visit from lary at his camp, and the truck i knew was gonna get stuck. See it was a new night and these head lights appear out further then I. It was headed to the creek, where I go just about every day to sit ,swim in the water and read and look for tracks. The water has been up, only one truck has cross in 3 weeks, my swimming hole was relocated by the currents, and this truck was headed right into it at night. I wondered if they were lost, or going to a camp which is not out that was, well there will be lights again, well there were none that night as I went to sleep. The next morning I heard a truck... it was 20 minutes away... it turned out to be crazy diamonds larry, but 5 minutes behind was a tow truck, yep...just as i thought. An hour passes and I see the tow truck and night truck on there way in. I could hear there tires getting closer, then bam Larry was over, I did not hear the difference in the distance. Another 15 minutes pass and the tow truck is coming into my ranch... we meet him at the gate... "so they got stuck in the creek""yep" "they walked back to the hotel, go there at 4:30, I guess about a 6 hour hike. the dogs barked that night, but it was not at them... I saw there tracks leading out the other side of the creek, a male and female..




its september now and I am taking more pics of rainbows and all the flowers which are blooming like fireworks around these lands. My water tank is leaking so all that good water is in the ground now, and the hardware store is open again, closed for the holiday, but gots to wait till tomorrow when the delivery comes in with what I need. So take advantage of the towns power and try to keep in touch with you all, not much else left to do except go down to the swimming hole and keep a chill on.
