It is difficult to grow  a garden or anything in this vast dry desert but Pete and Charles and  wife Jean managed to plant one and are now growing a small organic garden...determined I would say but now to keep the wild burro's,pigs,rabbits and chipmunks out will be another story .

Just How We came to Such a State as This Without Really Trying......Part 11

The Road out of Zion I mentioned that Greg was coming in the last blog(not his real name)..We had met him up in MacKay Idaho at free RV park where you could camp for a few days. We noticed right away that he was peculiar (not  going to mention everything) but we would watch him wash his clothes (expensive sports clothes) in a bucket near us in the evening and hang everything out all over his expensive van.)  He also picked up twigs and paper and started a fire each evening...but more then that this 6 foot 6 gentleman with a pony tail..just made us feel uneasy. I think sometimes  you can just sense things about people and that is what we felt as well as the other things that I did not mention. Anyway he started talking to Pete one day and acted as if he believed the same way as Pete...we know now that that was just a ploy...a snake in rabbits clothing...lol.  (Once had a brother just like him).  But we  decided that maybe we were wrong and would give h...

   This small town of less then 2000 people is truly amazing and I fell in love love with it immediately. The more I explore what it has to offer... the more in love with it I become.

Everyone has been so kind to us and it make...

Well starting to pull things together and getting used to my new surroundings...not easy but doing it. On the other hand Pete is really shining ...helping everyone and today putting in a community garden. Everyone loves him..he is that bright shiny penny needed around here. Was looking at some of my pix when we were up in Idaho. Have to say that I really miss that place..breath taking beautiful. Afraid I cannot say that same thing for here...but it does have it merits. Warm weather in the winter time but of course blazing hot weather in the summer getting up to 118 degrees. We are prepared though with our trusty swamp cooler. I do need to get some shade cloth at the store so I need to leave a note for myself.. Pete has been working out in what they are now calling the community garden. He is a nut case when it comes to growing food...although small right now I have a feeling that it will expand. Pete is already looking at property for sale in this area. OUR ...
