Windy day at Plateau hame de Colquhoun

Chilly, windy Monday January 8. Outside temp 27 30 mph winds with gusts over 40.

Our plans today? I’m not sure.. I’ve been asked to make a few more Gnomes, I need to get the websites updated. so I’ll probably be working on be doing that. Brent is usually working on music, he’s been helping AD a lot lately getting their place set up.

We are hoping the sun comes out as right now we have to limit electric usage. Today is rehearsal day, if the sun doesn’t come out Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band won’t be over to rehearse.

Life with the Colquhouns. Crafting

A windy Sunday, January 7th. Temps are 33f outside, 47f, and warming up inside.

The weather is saying we may be in for snow, record breaking cold temps, and last until Tuesday. On days like these, where it’s cloudy, we have to reserve the electricity. Which means no TVs, keeping lights off as much as possible. So that the electric lasts as long as possible.

I tend to craft either draw or crochet. I go through phases on what I like to do. Here recently it’s been crocheting. I been making little bags for the store. Few mushrooms and Gnomes for ourselves, and was commissioned to make a little Gnome with a beard and dreads. Never doing one like this I think he turned out cute.

I was asked if I’m going to put any in the store? Idk really depends on if I continue to make them. I think they are really cute, so maybe…. 路

Watch the video and tell me what you think!

Views of Manzano Mountains from Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

Its Saturday January 6 2024. The temp is 27 outside, 40 and raising inside. Yesterday was a warmer, sunny day. We were able to get a few things done outside. I was going to try and record or do another live stream, but we had some phone calls and I wasn’t able to.

Then we ran into town got showers and a few groceries. I say a few, didn’t even cover the bottom of the cart and it was almost $100?

We have talked about raising our own (I miss it)We’d have to buy the animals, get water, hay, grain.

But I got off topic, on Thursday we did get some snow, but it was gone in a few hours. The valley and Manzanos got enough to stick a few days.

Snow New Mexico Desert

Thu Jan 4th 37 degrees outside, 50 inside. I have just realized it was 4 yrs ago yesterday that we purchased the land that is now Plateau Hame De Colquhoun !

It’s now snowing, I am not able to get the heater to light (Brent probably won’t have any issues when he gets up). Idk why it does that to me, maybe don’t like how I touch it, or turn its know?

The dogs are curled up on the couch, I’m wrapped in my blankets, waiting for the coffee to finish. Todays plan is probably to stay in, watch videos/listen to music on our phones, play some games. I might even work on the website, and finish up the page for the NM 2024 Nomad Gathering in the Desert .

We’ve had a good response towards the lives, though I never know what to say or show. I will try to do a quick one today.

2023 at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

Cold 16 degree Saturday morning.  Just one more day left of 2023.

On January 3 of 2020, we purchased this piece of land that is now Plateau Hame De Colquhoun with dreams of becoming a place for people to come, relax, and be themselves. We never imagined that not only would our dream become a reality, but that neighbors who once were strangers are now family.

We thank Bob and Jannel,  H man, Brandon and Katie, Advocatus Diaboli, and the Grim Leafer Band. You all aren’t just neighbors. Friends, you are our family.  We’ve all helped each other through some tough times but in the end have all stood tall together.
