Spreading the Flow with a Media Luna We had another great erosion control workshop last weekend, instructor Craig Sponholtz of Dryland Solutions, Inc. came down from Santa Fe and volunteers came from several places. Many volunteers were repeat guests from the Tucson area. One guest was all the way from St. Louis and was […] Monsoon Rainstorm on the Ranch It is August and monsoon started right on schedule – July 4th. For a few weeks, the dry Arizona rangeland becomes Kelly green with blankets of flowers in hues of yellow, red, white, pink, blue, and gold. It is breathtaking. Most of the annual rainfall at the Double Circle […] Hummingbirds Feast at Feeder in Snowstorm It is April 14th – Spring by the calendar. But these hummingbirds at the cabin must be wondering whether winter returned. We woke up to snow showers and it has been snowing all day.

We have had a total of about ¾” of rain all monsoon so far. But it is supposed to rain today and tomorrow. We have our fingers crossed. Actually the eastern part of […] Wallow Fire Fighting Helicopter and Well Operators July 2. One part of the Wallow fire that gets overlooked in all the disaster is the great work and cooperation between the folks fighting the fire and/or dealing with fire-related issues.
