Mesa Verdes #4,Cortez, CO.,Aug.17, 2013

In this post I want to look at the Mesa Verdes from several different angles. First, look at the following photograph and just imagine yourself climbing up these cliffs.

Brush Growing back After Fire Where There Were No Trees

Today has been a busy day here lots of preperation work gooing on for the big wedding. I spent most of the day with a glue gun gluing English Walnuts, Hazel Nuts and Almonds onto a wire supported felt base in a specific shape the bride wanted as a center piece. The pool cleaning service was here today and the crew that washes the windows spent half the day here. It is getting late here in California so I will close for now. The next posting will take a look at the different houses the Pueblo People lived in on top of the Mesa.

Remember God loves you and so do I.

Good Night
