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.

Good afternoon, Ma!

Yes! We got 3" inches of rain over the weekend and about 3 inches of snow (yes, snow on the third day of Spring in Oklahoma) this morning.

It's a philosophical paradigm.

Maybe scrambled eggs?

Okay, I'm half a day late, but...

Did someone's suggestive posts earlier put the idea of eggs in your mind for dinner?

LOL! I hadn't even read that yet. I wanted hot, and I know how to scramble eggs, add some grated cheese, zap some sausage, and voila!!! hot food.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear about Pookie...I hope the kids are taking it ok...

We've had to give up a couple of dogs, but it was only after the poor things either bit Nana, or literally tore up the boys' bedroom.

It was rough, but eventually they understood that the dogs couldn't stay.

The Flyboy has that same problem, probably for pretty much the same reason...

911 ops are a special breed.
