Travel Tuesday - Red River Sneak Peek
We weren't sure what we were getting into as we made the 3 1/2 hour drive northeast...
....but it turns out, Red River, New Mexico is a really cool place!
It was a beautiful drive to get there....
The RV park is nestled in a valley....
The Red River runs right through the campground...
There was all kinds of wild life both the bear....
...and the human kind!
Mama's going through a million, trillion pictures and we'll be telling you more about our Red River adventures over the next couple of weeks!
We are joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the
Happy Tuesday Blog Hop this week!

Happy Summer from Sasebo Gardens
Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week we are back for our June peek at Sasebo Japanese Garden.
Everything is so very green as we enter the Summer months....
The paths are nice and shady which is good. The temperatures have been getting in the 80s by 9AM, when Mama usually gets to the garden for her walks, and the New Mexico sun is brutal!
The peonies are coming to the end of their blooming cycle...but the pink petals still look pretty.
Here are a few views of the waterfall.
It is mostly in the shade now too.
These are some kind of pretty berries.
These beautiful yellow day lilies were everywhere!
Mama also found this deep purple wild iris (she thinks it may be a Louisiana Wild Iris).
Here is a short video of her walk:

We hope all our friends can get out and find some nature on this first official weekend of Summer.
Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE to go to our Hoppity Page.

Happy Campfire Memories
As the temperatures heat up, we are packing up and heading to the mountains of New Mexico for a long weekend in search of cooler weather.
It made us think of our trip to Angel Fire, which is very close to where
we're going later this week.
It sure was nice having campfires in the cooler weather, wasn't it Rosy??
It sure was Sunny, I hope we get to have a campfire this weekend too. Then again, after the triple digit heat we've been having at home this week, I'll be happy if the temperatures are below 90F (37C).

Neighborhood Flower Friday
Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week I thought it would be nice to show you some of the flowers we see during our neighborhood walkies.
Here we have an dwarf purple smoke bush, the fuzzy flowers do look a little bit like smoke, don't you think?
We found this beautimous deep red rosy rose bush with a bunch of blooms.
The Challa Cactus is blooming too.
Check out the dark pink blooms with the bright yellow centers!
The prickly pear cactus are also blooming, their blooms are bright yellow with red middles and then Mother Nature layered a bright yellow center!
In other news (and nature) I have "made friends" with the neighbor kitty.
He is a nice looking Ginger boy that kind of reminds me of Aunty C's nephew, Rocky.
Let's wrap up this edition of Nature Friday with a pretty pink rose from the bush Daddy planted earlier this Spring!
We hope you enjoyed our little walkie. We sure hope you all get out this weekend and find some nature!
Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE to go to our Hoppity Page.
