In the month of September
…we didn’t see many new birds; only 9.
In the month of October, even less; 7.
We’re at 429 for the year. 71 birds to go and only 2 months to get there. We’re in different habitat now, so there are different birds to get, and it’s fun seeing new birds, but we’re going to have to really get after it in the last two months to get to 500! No matter how hard we look though, there won’t be 71 new birds to get, just in the desert.
Henry and Jesse
It was 46 degrees this morning in Las Cruces
The temperature at Becky’s house had a 4 in it as well, but only one; it was 4.
We drove to Arizona.
We didn’t encounter any dust storms, but they certainly prepared us for the possibility!
Here is today’s temperature and humidity.
It’s a little dry.
We’re at Roper Lake State Park.
We love this little desert park.
Maybe we need to get Jesse a bigger bed.
Or less stuff.
I need to invent something
We watch pickup trucks pull fifth-wheel and travel trailers into RV Parks. To level the trailer, these travelers often must disconnect from the truck so they can level the trailer front to back. Even if they’re just stopping for the night, they have to unhook that night and rehook the next day.
So here is my invention: Install hydraulic suspension, like the lowrider cars in California that can bounce up and down, in the rear of the pickup truck. Then, without unhooking the trailer, raise or lower the back end of the truck until the trailer is level. No need to unhook. Problem solved. Life is easier!
Brilliant!?
We’ve driven to warm weather.
Today’s high in Las Cruces, New Mexico: 76 degrees. Today’s high in Erie, Colorado also has a seven in it: 17 degrees.
Jesse can’t seem to stay in her bed when she falls asleep.
