I bought several hummingbird feeders, because, it seems that there wasn't enough room at the inn!

We were sitting at the Sonic, in the beautiful downtown Ruidoso...when a terrible fire broke out, right across the highway behind the K-Bob's! They even had a plane come in and drop slurry!

Well....here is Jimmy's latest project. A toolshed/garage for the golf cart......it is 12 X 14....nearly the size of the deck! it even has an attic, for more storage. (sigh) the king of overkill....has made it so strong, the deck could blow down before the toolshed will.....we had to have a foundation of almost 3 yards of concrete!

I just got a book on the birds of New Mexico, so I could identify all the ones I see, so far, I've seen the Scott's Oriole, wild turkeys, Red Crossbill, Downy Woodpecker, some type of Nuthatch (known for running headfirst down a treetrunk) and of course Black chinned hummingbirds, Broad tailed hummingbirds, and Rufous hummingbirds (the smaller orange ones). I've also seen Blue Jays...but don't have a picture, yet.

After realizing that a 3,000 square foot house in Texas doesn't fit in a deck in New Mexico very well, Jimmy has decided to tear down and rebuild the toolshed....much bigger! Storage for lots of stuff, and, Oh By The Way.....a garage for his golf cart.....
in the meantime, our friend Robert from Fort Worth, drove in to give Jimmy a hand in framing it.
