By now, the leaves in Cloudcroft are beginning to turn...elderberries are ripe. Apples getting there. Evenings crisp, noontimes sunny. purple haze on the hills, and cottonwoods turning gold from the crowns down...I miss it so much.

Of course, I have to come home to comment, because...the internet police patrol regularly. Looks like you did a great job holding yourself back from over-watering!

Becky, we actually did get three Steves (explanation <a href="http://zeesgowest.blogspot.com/2010/08/farmers-market-in-august-little-cactus.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>). We are waiting for all the work crews to finish with the house repairs before attempting to plant them. I'll do some "before" pictures of them, too, because I think that they are going to be really big.clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-18891542919093680092010-09-21T09:04:00.218-06:002010-09-21T09:04:00.218-06:00Great photos, Bluebird!Great photos, Bluebird!Jean (aka Auntie Bucksnort)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09674554298987110017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-58575018141029580262010-09-21T08:42:47.945-06:002010-09-21T08:42:47.945-06:00Very cool Cacti, Clair.
