I haven’t gotten a whole lot done this week it seems, other than coloring pages. Yesterday was spent in Las Cruces. We got a lot done, met the husbands surgeon, set up his surgery to install the fistula, started the process to apply for his disability and then took a nice, leisurely drive home up “the old highway” – taking photos all the way, of course.

This photo of the Organ Mountains was taken in Las Cruces. We have been chuckling for a few weeks over some directions we got from one office which stated “turn left, towards the Organ Mountains”. You would think that was a pretty safe landmark, but on the day we went to that place it was overcast and foggy, and you actually could NOT see the mountains. LOL.

Meanwhile, the signs of spring at the ranch are growing. This little fellow showed up Wednesday morning while we were out on the porch enjoying Mr. Sunbeam with our coffee.

The juvenile Sharp-Shinned Hawk has decided he is a member of the family and almost always joins us in the mornings now. Hubby snuck up for this pic:

I did get a lot of sewing done this week, and have just a bit more to do before I pack up the sewing machine for the warm months. Once it gets warm and the days are long I happily trade the sewing machine for the kayak in the storage space. My art supplies will stay out though, as I will start spending part of the day sitting outside to sketch. Now that my scanner is here and hooked up I may even share the sketches with you as they happen. We just might be without Internet for a few days towards the end of the month (can’t afford it – decided we would enjoy eating more than having Internet now that I have quit pretending I will ever make a living here) and I am thinking I may get together with a writing friend for a little marathon writing to finish Book Two of the Hunter series.

We have two whole weeks before we have to go out of town again – WHEEEE. We’re talking about perhaps doing a bit of exploring, checking out some nearby birding areas so hubby can take more photos, etc. Just depends on what he feels up to. One day at a time.

If you wanted one of my coloring books, the shop will be open about another ten days.
