Visitors

My friend, Nancy Birch, Roadrunner Tours, Angel Fire, NM, brought Aussie, (the dog that had all the pups)back to visit. We still had Oliver, that they used in the Kingman Parade, sitting in the rocker. Will, do you remember taking him to school for show & tell & on the bus?

Trick or Treat

These are Heath & Dana Weninger's kids - Mattie, AJ & Valerie

Halloween

Valerie didn't like the scary cat - it howels & hisses!!!

The Boys

This is Bobby & Buster, Art & Alan's project. They are 8 years old & very gentle.
They love to be fed & like to lay in the sun all day.

New Personalities

Alan & Art have purchased two longhorns - this is Bobby & belongs to Art. A picture of Buster will follow. They are elegant!

Nelly Moser Clematis

This clematis is so pretty but not as hardy. It didn't have the growth but had a few beautiful blossoms - maybe next year.

Sweet Autumn Clematis

This is a very hardy plant & provided lovely blossoms.
