July August September

The big summer event was a visit from Noah
Jays built a nest in our spruce tree. There were 4 hatchlings. We watched them develop.
The fledglings ran around in the courtyard until they could fly.
As always, the yard was full of pretty flowers and plants thanks to Patricia's efforts.
I think this is a "flame" plant flower.
Many small flowers
Hummingbirds adn bees visit the flowers
Rock art
Baby jays in our yard
Captured this butterfly pretty well
Noah traveled by himself from Phoenix to visit us.
Noah, Patricia, and I took a tour of the Mesa Prieta Petroglyph site.
I think Noa was pretty interested.
A kokopelli
We were very busy.
Patricia helped Noah refine his kitchen skills.
We went to El Flamenco for a performance.
Noah sketched this picture from the El Flamenco program. We used it for our Christmas cards.
We visited the natural history museum in Albuquerque.
We saw a 3D film at the museum.
