Back East…

Posted on April 3, 2012 by Maureen Farr

As somebody famous once said, “What a long, strange trip it’s been!” and we aren’t even close to home yet.  Closer than we were last Tuesday (still in Silver City at that time), but we still have a lot of … Continue reading →

Four states and one time zone later…

Posted on April 1, 2012 by Maureen Farr

We left New Mexico last Wednesday, and here we are in Jackson, Tennessee on Sunday.  After all that vast, brown, crunchy beauty of the Southwest, I have to say that the green grass, fully leafed trees, and overabundance of water … Continue reading →

Tumbleweeds are rolling: a chance encounter in the Black Range

Posted on March 29, 2012 by Maureen Farr

After six weeks and six days in Silver City, NM, Max and I loaded up Tumbleweed and headed for home this morning.  Okay, I loaded Tumbleweed.  Max did the heavy panting and pacing – ready to make a mad dash … Continue reading →

worth 1,000 words?

Posted on February 19, 2012 by Maureen Farr

We have no news to report from Silver City, except that Max is healing really well.  He’s up to his old tricks – bringing me the errant sock, my slippers or shoes (one by one), and the occasional toy as … Continue reading →

An afternoon at the dog park…

Posted on February 15, 2012 by Maureen Farr

Much to my surprise, we woke this morning to about 2″ of snow on the ground!  There’s a rain barrel outside my kitchen window and the water on the top of it was frozen…   I knew Max would like to … Continue reading →

Sunday at the dog park… and more

Posted on February 12, 2012 by Maureen Farr

Sunday afternoon, Silver City.  After yesterday’s gorgeous 64° welcome, it was a bit of a shock to wake up to low 30s and tiny hail this morning. For most of the day the sun comes out, the sun goes in, … Continue reading →

It’s still raining…

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Maureen Farr

I’ve been pretty busy this past week with work so I haven’t minded too much that it has been rainy, foggy, or misty every day. Now that I’m feeling a little “caught up” on the work front, I am feeling … Continue reading →

Tumbleweeds at rest…

Posted on April 28, 2011 by Maureen Farr

Max is sleeping by my side, Tumbleweed is parked on the street, the rest of us just had a fabulous dinner. Cindy made veggie burgers from leftover Ethiopian Chickpea Stew, roasted broccoli, and salad. The broccoli and salad were NOT … Continue reading →

Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore…

Posted on April 15, 2011 by Maureen Farr

Was that a house that just went sailing by? A witch on a bicycle? A girl and her little dog? Tornado Alley is not my locale of choice. All the news stations are filled with “dangerous weather” reports – and … Continue reading →

Tumbleweed is back on the road…

Posted on April 13, 2011 by Maureen Farr

…and already, I managed to drain the battery! I’ve been spoiled by the rental car for three weeks – automatic lights-off should be standard on ALL cars. Tumbleweed doesn’t have ’em, and I went to the dog park, left the … Continue reading →
