Another world?

Hard to believe this view is not from another planet! We see this view everyday here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun. So far our views haven’t gotten old. Hardest part is learning all the mountains and their names etc.  This mountain is easy its Ladrone Peak! Ladrone meaning thieves, the story goes that outlaws used to hide up on Ladrone Peak as there wasn’t anyway to ambush them, they can see 100 miles in all directions. If you know any history, we’d love to hear it! Feel free to post in the comments!

Delayed yet again

Heat, and storms. Dealing with weather doesn’t give us much chance to complete the projects we are wanting to complete. Today we were supposed to pickup an armoire and couple end tables, we’ll have to see what these clouds do before we can get them.

Laundry Day

This is what it looks like when we go do laundry and the solar is to low to run a fan to keep dogs cool while gone. They get to ride along. Dreugan gets his favorite spot the floor.

We haven’t been able to get much work done at home. Yesterday spent most of the day at the University for Dr appointments, today Laundry and few in town tasks due to possible rain the next few days. When it rains it can be hard to get off the mesa so we try to get everything done before hand.

Dog and his toys

Dreugan his toys and his beer! Today we worked on getting the kitchen container setup, picked up a hideaway couch.

We had a surprise visit from someone that is looking to move out here, and wanted info on setting up, what we’ve found so far that works and doesn’t work.. We enjoyed our visit with him, and hope he’s able to achieve his goals.

Dreugan Puppy 33 weeks old

Dreugan now 33 weeks old 7.5 months and still growing. He’s been doing good, still has puppy brains, and hormones are kicking in.. We plan on having him neutered but the vet recommended that we wait until he’s 1 to 2 yrs old, for bone growth. Love the puppy but also can’t wait to get pass that stage.
