Stickers, mowing, and car update

Well many know we mowed yesterday. We worked almost 5 hours mowing and walked 4 miles, we aren’t done yet still few more hours ro go. Then the mowing will be done for the West Mesa Haunted Hay Ride  . Today we worked in the studio, and just trying to keep ourselves busy.

We got a bunch of stickers that we’ll be selling in the Dusty Nail General Store  

Car update :

We don’t have much for information on the car, that I can share. Today we are just trying not to talk about it. It’s just so upsetting, i would love our car back the way we left it. We are hoping to hear from the insurance tomorrow. We hope we can get a rental until we figure out everything.  We have the pickup, but it has issues that prevents us from driving any distance with it.

Plus having to buy what was lost 3 5 gallon water bottles, all our shower stuff, clothes, towels (I’m glad we didn’t do laundry like we had talked about), Anne lost her Bluetooth earbuds, charger among other things. It’s all replaceable, but we shouldn’t have to..

West Mesa Haunted Hayride and Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer

Advocatus Diaboli  has sent us a few more samples of their music. I have added them all to a video.

We thank them for allowing us to help set up their social media, website! It makes me feel good that I was asked to help!! I’m not an expert by no means, but it felt good being asked, and getting to meet, talk to such a secretive band and one of my favorites it makes it all worth while. Thank you Advocatus Diaboli!!!

We are very excited about having Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band here performing the Afterparty for the West Mesa Haunted Hay Ride !!

October 4th 2023 End of the World

Happy Wednesday, October 4th.. is everyone ready for the end of the world today? We read that many people are wrapping their phones and other electronic devices in aluminum foil, etc, to protect themselves..

We aren’t doing anything special.. I guess if we become zombies we’ll starve as not many brains out here to eat.. and we won’t need costumes for the West Mesa Haunted Hay Ride !!

Mowing the desert

Not much has been going on here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun . We been working on getting things ready for the West Mesa Haunted Hay Ride . We were hoping not to have to mow, but it does seem we will be mowing at least the common areas. Mowing the desert is so much different than what I mowed in Minnesota. You will get covered in sand, the ground is rough. The winds blow the sand away and leaves humps were the grass are. Since the rain we now have tons of goatheads. We were pulling them out, but there way to many to do that.. So this year we’ve lost the battle, but haven’t quit pulling killing as many as we can. We’ve been researching ways to get rid of them. WITHOUT harsh chemicals.

We’ve been told the best way is to smother them out by planting grass. Well we lack the water for grass?

So idk well keep researching and looking cause we hate goatheads!!!!
