What they do when they leave us home alone in the RV

Every morning they went for a walk around the campground. They brought along harnesses and leashes for us, but they never took us for a walk with them! Of course, Mollie would have been scared and she only walks backwards when she has the harness on, but I like dogs and I would have liked to go along. When they came home they always smelled of dogs because they stopped to talk and pet friendly dogs--seemed like everyone had a dog! This is the first giant Schnauzer we had ever seen anywhere, it was as big as a boxer!
We had nice trees and a lot of birds, but they told us that we would see deer like they did last summer and we didn't see even one by our RV. They got in that little "NM orange" car every day and went somewhere. We stayed home and watched the birds, napped, ate and all that kind of stuff.

Mom loves hollyhocks because she says they always had them when she was growing up in Iowa. They have them all over NM and these were at Laughing Sheep Farm which is 1 mile west of Lincoln, NM. It is a big farm with a gourmet restaurant that serves all fresh food grown on the farm or locally including grass fed meat. It made them remember growing up in rural places with gardens, fruit trees and their own chickens & eggs. They told us they had salads of all kinds of "greens" and a quail, rice & fresh veggies soup for lunch at the farm.



Boy, Mollie and I would have liked to chase these chickens that were out walking around the farm yard! There were geese, too, but they can get mean I hear.


And here's Dad standing by the farm pond. It started to lightening and thunder so they headed to the car before it poured down rain. It pretty much rained some every day and there were some really big thunder storms.
