September 26, 2021: Hike to Sandia foothills with Dunlap family

We love outdoor hikes and adventures with our family! We went up to the Sandia foothills on a Sunday afternoon with Jessica and Sebastian's family. We had their dog Poppy with us too, and she had boundless energy and strength. She nearly pulled me all the way up the mountainside and boulders!

Mama Jess loves her little Sofia

I LOVE this photo

Get 'em, Tarantula!

September 4th: Some photos of dark orange plants on the side of our house, and Mike in our backyard. He was diverting water from a small rain gutter ditch to prevent too much water from pooling in that area. 



A large Praying Mantis on our back patio column,
which our grandson Joseph would have loved to catch


Mike, always fixing problems and making improvements to our property




A cute desert toad we found on our street that somehow
escaped from the bucket I put him in to give to Beau
