Tour guide trussell

Hi Everyone! Here we are for another trip to Mesa Verde. This portion is filled with many hidden treasures. Some of these ruins you...you have to look really hard to see.

This is one of my favorites. It's several layers of ruins, built into very small crevices in the rock face. Some of these go back as far as 100 feet into the mountain!

Others are just built in an area that you wouldn't expect to have homes. This one is in a canyon area, at the very end of the canyon.


 
Read about Mesa Verde Here: Mesa Verde National Park

Another one with layers of ruins. One in the open, on the ledge, another in the cave above it. Do you think that's a third layer just under the ledge? Looks like it might be to me.

 


There are some built on top of peaks. They appear to be totally vulnerable to the wind and elements.

 


Another beautifully crafted home, tucked into a small nook. The people were very good at what they did!

 

 

They were so confident in their work, they built right up to the cliff! I wouldn't want to live there if I were prone to sleepwalking!! That's a long way down!!

 


This could possibly explain where we got the idea for High Vaulted Ceilings!! :)

 

 


This one is built on the floor of the canyon, with very low ceilings.

Oh my God........Seasonal Warming has struck Alaska!

Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea both have snow caps. The clouds lifted and the sight is so beautiful.

To a normal, thinking person, weather is a redistribution of heat globally; a complex system that befuddles meteorologists and panics newscasters.

I cherish my sunny days.....we've had three now.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION
The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE
 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

I just got an email from a friend who is vacationing in/on Maui. I thought for sure that they would be rained out but they have sunburns.
