May, 2011


It has been so windy and dry around here. Every day we get "red flag alerts" which means dry and subject to fires. We haven't had even one drop of rain all this year; and the midwest has way more rain than they need. Mother Nature sure is strange!

Nothing much new going on around here. I have ordered some Marquis Grape vines to plant to replace some of the nice green vines that we had and were destroyed by that awful deep freeze we had in February. Otherwise, most of our desert cacti and succulants are doing fine. I was worried about our ocotillo, but is has turned green and looks great.

Mother's Day was great around here, none of the kids were here, but Stewart sent me a cash gift and bought me a nice big chocolate cake with red roses on top and it said "Happy Mother's Day Mom"..delicious. Teresa sent me some chocolate covered strawberries which I dearly love and Phyllis sent me a large houseplant which I truly needed because all my other ones were killed. So it was a happy time for me. I enjoyed talking online with some dear old friends from many years ago. Time changes us all, but it is so good to talk to people that once played such an important part in my life. When I say "talk", I really mean writing on Facebook. I dearly cherish all my Facebook friends.

Ugh. That wind is nasty. I just posted a pic on FB of the dirt and sand being "relocated." Compared to the beautiful sunrise .... well, you know. :(

Sweet kids you have!!

Hello NM. Your blog come up on my "Traffic Sources" list, so I thought I'd stopped over for a visit.

Speaking of wind ... I do remember the time I drove from my home in NY to California, cruising along Rte. 10. I believe I was in Ariz., not NM, I don't recall exactly, but I saw some signs warning of wind.

High winds? I thought. Big deal.

About ten miles later, I saw a big tractor trailer truck off on the side of the road. The guy must be taking a rest, I thought. Then I saw the truck was on its side. Wow, I thought, that's a weird accident -- no other truck or car involved, either.

A few miles later on, I saw another truck on its side. And then another! And I finally realized these trucks were being blown over by the wind.

Now, that's wind!

Anyway, best to all my fellow senior bloggers out there in the land of blown-over trucks!

Hi Sightings: We do have warning signs along the stretch of I-10 that goes thru Luna County and the City of Deming. The problem isn't so much the wind, as the blowing DUST! Blows so hard that visibility is zero and we often have fatal accidents on those windy days. Big Trucks often try to get off the road and can't make it. Very dangerous and wish something was done about it.
