Woke up around 8 o'clock and turned the heat on and went back to bed and read blogs till 9. Got down to 39 last night, but today is starting out bright and sunny with just a little breeze. Unfortunately it is from the northeast, so chilly in the shade.
After breakfast we laid outside in the sun for awhile. While laying there this little hummingbird was wanting something to drink so it landed on the feeder just above my head.
Giving me the evil eye! |
As the day progressed we watched a little football and it got fairly warm outside at 57, so around 2 o'clock we decided to take just a quick ride along the Cargo Muchacho Mountains just north of us. Today, we just skirted the south side looking for mines. Hopefully, soon we will spend a day driving around inside the mountain valleys.
On our first climb following tailings up the mountain side we found our first mine.
We flipped a coin to see who would climb into the mine and I won! At least there would be someone to tell the world where Nick is buried if it should cave in. 😁American Girl Mine in the distance. |
Can you spot Yuma? |
Good to know your year is going well. Super pictures of your trip to look for mines. Yuma really enjoys exploring everything. That's a cool picture of Nick in the mine. Yellowstone was good. It ended like I thought it might. I hope you all get some warmer weather.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dolly. Warm weather is on its way this week.
DeleteLove the hummingbird pictures. I'm sure he'll be back!
ReplyDeleteThank you. He protects the feeder from other birds.
DeleteI spot Yuma! Looks like you guys have been busy having fun the past few days!
ReplyDeleteEveryday is busy. Too much to see and do.
DeleteCool mines to explore, not that I would go very far in. The views are always spectacular, even inside the caves.
ReplyDeleteI figure if they've been there for a hundred years we should be safe. Rattlesnakes are another matter.
DeleteLots of interesting places to hike among the old mines. Might still be a gold vein out there waiting for you ...
ReplyDeleteWe're checking them carefully 😄
DeleteLoved these pictures.
ReplyDeleteHow much fun can two men and a dog have ??
We work at having fun 😀
DeleteLooks like a great day for you three! I love hummingbirds, they must go south for the winter as we don't have any this time of year! LOL. I bet Nick enjoyed going in the mine, Much better than I would have LOL. Sounds like a great dinner to end the day!
