No goats? Why don't people love goats? I can't even find a goat crochet pattern that doesn't look stupid.

That lizard picked a rock to climb that most matched his own coloring.

Okay, does anybody else yell, "Mooooooo" when driving by cattle? In this case it would be, "Mooo, Baaaaa, Neeeiiiggghhh".
Lisa, I love when you take us along on your trips. Thanks!

CeeCee, you are not the only one. Although lately, I'm more prone to shout "Oreo cows!" at the small herd of cows down the road with broad white stripes around their middles(some kind of Scottish breed). I've just got to get a photo of them before their pasture is also bulldozed, for yet another housing development.

Lisa, you know I think you're an incredible photographer, but I simply do NOT believe you shot that lizard as the car zoomed by. ;)

So what kind of lots are for sale? Ones to live on year round or ones to build cabins on?

Melanie said...

YThose lots for sale in Christmas Tree Canyon are for sale to build your home or cabin on. There's no camping there. You can live year-round or just fo vacations. It's up to you.
