A Day in Santa Fe

No strenuous hikes today, thank goodness! We spent a lot of the day in Santa Fe. Mom and Dad went to a desert garden store; Mom bought sunflower seeds and Dad bought grass seed for the big dirt patch out front where Thomas dug the septic system.

I got to visit the prairie dog village at the Jackalope store and just about flipped out to see the little guys. They ignored me and everybody else and just went on eating.

We also visited the Santa Fe plaza where I posed for animal crackers. I also met this young girl short-haired dachshund. She was pretty neat, although she wasn't as interested in me as I would have liked.

The big happening today has been the wind. It is absolutely howling, and it's cold! You can barely see the mountains across the Rio Grande valley because of the dust.

Yesterday we bought a lawn&garden windmill and this afternoon Dad put it together, but he couldn't put it together because of the wind. Go figure!
