Tomorrow is the twenty fourth we should be in the monsoon season we get lots of clouds and thunder and little rain. We did get a couple of showers and things started to flood so I don't know just what would it would be like with a couple of hours of rain.
I have been having fun trapping critters in the garden. we have as of today six squirrel, mice, one kangaroo rat, bugs, and we could catch rabbits if we opened the gate. The deer have yet to jump the fence and eat the corn.
We went to Mongollon Wednesday cause the cleaners came around one made us leave. Mongollon Pronounced " Mogeeon" it is an old mining town in a narrow canyon a baseball could be thrown from one house to the other with no trouble at all. It is also at the bottom of a steep climb in and out being mostly a one lane road and when it rains it cause's rock slides on the road , we almost burned out our brakes coming out, but finally the lower gears were engaged the speed limit was fifteen mph. and that was fast.
We have been live trapping and yesterday we had hauled that squirrel out of town. when we let him go he took off running not just to the trees, or the next set of trees, not even just to the dry creek bed which was a block away, but to our knowledge he is still running, man did we laugh. Here he had been living off the lowery garden and next he was in the hot dessert wild's. Too fun.
Till later Love Dad

I just love those old ghost towns!Love the picture of the old car.
Just wanted to let you know we think of you often! You were missed at the reunion. I'm so proud of your kids and the efforts they are making to keep connected as a family in the absence of Mom and Dad.
