I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend....We did! We rode horses on Monday. Wilfred and I are both sore this morning. My mom bought a new horse on Monday. Her name is Lily. She is 2 months old. She is still going to stay with her momma until the end of July. She is APHA registered. I am going to show her at the N.M. State Fair in the halter class. She is very sweet and loving! Here she was bonding with Wilfred.
On Saturday We went out to Bouton's Place. They had a windmill that was needing the head taken off of it. They also needed the water tower taken down. Where they live there was a HUGE fire. It burned several thousand acres of the national forest and some of Bouton's land. That same fire burned 59 homes in the area. Wilfred drove the crane down with Clayton, and Lindsy and I drove my car with a trailer. The plan was to use the crane on the windmill and water tower. Then go cut timbers from the burned parts of the land. I wish I could have captured the burn and the scar on film....there was just no way! It was amazing and very sobering. I am so sorry for the quality of the photos. Somehow my darling children got finger prints all over my lens.
The fire was so hot that even the rocks burned... some of the HUGE boulders cracked in half!
One tree burned nearly completely while the cluster of trees around it are still standing.
The kids had so much fun playing in the dirt!
Here is the crane Wilfred was using. He has recently been promoted to a 40 ton crane. This is it!

Hello! Finally getting caught up on your blog - the snake story was horrid - I was tense reading it! And you have a lot more guts than I do - no way would I have killed that thing! And I'm not sure I would have let my hubby up on that windmill either:) Looks like you are having fun in your pix - thanks for letting us look! - Cari
ummmm....even looking at someone climbing that high gives me the shivers!
