Well, here we are, back at Lonestar Ranch.  Because there seems to be a lack of things to do in a BUSINESS-RELATED way, I spent most of yesterday watching birds and chipmunks on the bird-feeder, and taking photos.  Didn't think I would ever go there, but since things were not happening over the weekend at the HOUSE, I had to have SOMETHING to do!  I bought a bird-watching guide for New Mexico and so far have identified about 6 different birds that have been eating at the feeder we hung.  And after waiting and watching all day, I was finally able to get a photo of a hummingbird at the feeder!  There's lots of them around, because I have learned what they sound like and that whistling noise is abundant on the mountain!  How exciting! 

I did take the time to go to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Angel Fire and take photos of that, which I posted to one of the Flickr groups I joined.  Lots of people there, and it was a beautiful day!

Today, it's supposed to be warmer on the mountain, and that's all well and fine, but the wind is blowing like crazy, so according to our temp gauge outside, it is officially 58 degrees out there not counting wind chill.  But the sun is shining and there are no clouds in the sky, so I am fixing to get out there and do SOMETHING...even if it's just picking up trash that is blowing from the building site to down the mountain.  We tried to have a nice fire in the firepit last night, after grilling BBQ chicken on the grill, but THAT didn't happen either, because as soon as we would sit down, the smoke would engulf us and run us off.  How do people sit by a fire and not get run off?  Oh well, we can always try again tonight. 

Tomorrow we have an appt with a bank in Raton, so that will be a nice trip and something different to do. 

OK gotta go----- check out all the photos I took yesterday at  www.flickr.com/photos/rozgarland/
