In case you were wondering. No the Southwest continues to burn forrest land at an unprecedented rate. We are now at close to 700,000 acres burned in New Mexico so far this SPRING. Summer doesn't start for another week or so...........
I had to put up a fence around the garden this year. Got away with no fence for 6 years, but last year woodchucks, raccoons and deer finally found it. They got more out of it than we did!
And it didn't end there. It was a pretty mild winter here, but for some reason the deer devastated the neighborhood - ate up almost every evergreen shrub in site.

I probably flew right over you.
We had Lori's Aunt and her aunt's husband visiting from Tenn. over the weekend. We took them up to Flagstaff to sightsee about 10:30 in the morn. About the time we reached Flag we started seeing a pretty small plume of smoke behind the city. The wind was blowing like crazy and I said this could be bad. Within a couple of hours it had grown to over 1000 acres. We were in a candy shop when everyone's phones and watches started sounding off with evacuation warnings for the next closest town. We headed back home and by the morning it was around 5000 acres and growing. Wind warnings in effect through tomorrow.
A view from just outside our porch. Turned out to be a beautiful day in northern PA. Haven't been this relaxed in years. Puttering around and working on small projects, which always exist around this cabin. Hoping to go fishing this evening, looks like there are some good fly hatches the last few evenings.
Nice I can post up here, my brother signed up for StarLink and they sent him the unit the next day. I guess he's one of the first testers up in this area. Problem is the canyon walls, get an outage about once a minute. Not noticeable unless you hit "post" when it's out. Can watch videos as long as they buffer. My brother and his family were watching Netflix etc on a Roku device. I come up here to escape the world, lol, no videos for us.
Edit: Wifey just said I missed a doe and her fawn walking across on the bike trail a few minutes ago. Can't beat that! My wife is pretty sure that it was the same fawn came up to her on a walk yesterday until she realized she wasn't "mommy".

2nd night in a row, my son catches his dinner. We're in a special regulation area, so he has to go downstream about 1/2 mile to keep anything. This is a 14" rainbow trout, obviously stocked at some point, not lot's of color to it. He caught a native brook trout near a run in the same area that was quite beautiful. We don't normally keep those unless we injure them with the hook.
Sorry to see this Mike and didn't want to share our misfortune with you. They say the monsoon season will startup by Friday and carry through the weekend so maybe you guys will get some help from above. We have not had a drop of any type of precipitation for over 3 months now. Stay safe.

I feel bad for youzes guys. Specially since we can burn as long as we watch it. Started up a fire in the yard for the girls to make smores. As long as we watch it and have water close, we can burn if it is enclosed. Have water, enclosed and watching it.
If I drink enough beer I'll have plenty of "ready" water, lol. Wind died down an hour ago or so, burn is okay, but if the wind starts back up I'll hose it down.

Their wine is so bad they have to flavor it with rum?
Now where have I seen photos similar to this????? 
Wine makers and gardeners know patience.
Black hollyhock are biennial, flower the 2nd year. Seeds planted last year, started flowering yesterday.
I'll make some tea to see if there are any wine possibilities.

We have yet another fire that started about 5 days ago in northern NM. The Midnight Fire is about 30 miles north of us and is already at 5000 acres. We have had 90+ degree weather this week and winds up to 25mph each day making fighting the fire difficult/hazardous. Praying for monsoons to start up and help with all the fires in the southwest.
That's bizarre. I know we pick and choose what we plant because some will be moose food, guaranteed. Usually if it is mild you see less of them because they have what they need deeper in the forest.
That would be hard to take.They got more out of it than we did!
We have a short growing season. Usually we plant on May long weekend. May 18-23rd on average. Everything above ground is done in September and we usually dig the root vegetables up in early October.
We don't get a second chance, so the fence must happen.
I'm considering the beets a warning shot.
NASA????
