The Past Week

 Sorry, I seem to neglect to write on a consistent basis. If you are a frequent visitor you already know this, as sometimes my posts are few and far between.

Last Tuesday I was again in the gallery, it was very slow. I sold 4 of my books, that was it for the day. Good for me, not for the gallery.

After closing up I headed to the monthly, He/She Bang, meeting. We discussed the stage and how it is going to be set up. Then we went through the skits and what they will look like and what props, etc, will be needed. This year the show will run over 5 nights and two weekends in November. Make your plans now, ticket go on sale in October and sell out FAST. All proceeds benefit the Madrid Health Cooperative and the Food Bank for the residents of the town.

I spent some time this week sealing the house from critters that seem to find their way under my house. I have rabbits, squirrels, rats, mice and birds seeking shelter. I have been burying 1/4" wire mesh all around the perimeter of the house. They do not like this at all.

Today, I had planned to photograph a sheep shearing, unfortunately, my GPS decided to make up an address and took me to the wrong place. Hopefully, another one will come up and I will be able to locate it. As I drove through Alcalde I passed a cemetery and went back to get a few pictures. This is La Villita Catholic Cemetery. 

After leaving Alcalde, I stopped at Lowe's in Espanola to get some more mesh.

I then went to the grocery store, this was my fifth attempt to get some frozen lemon juice. I went to the Market Place, as I pulled up I saw the Girl Scouts were there. I had seen they were out selling, though I never was in town on the days they were out. So the first thing I did was purchase two boxes of Thin Mints and two of the Tagalogs. I finally found my frozen lemon juice! I fulfilled my small list and left the store. As I loaded my haul into my trunk a couple walked by and stated that my Thin Mints were gold, they have run out while I was shopping.

A few days ago I had some visitors in my yard.

A Lewis's Woodpecker this afternoon in my yard.

As far as the aftermath of the cancer treatment, except for having to pee constantly and it burns almost every time, I am doing great.
