El Capitan and the Guadalupe Mountains

On my way home from Oklahom recently, me and Bean stopped at The
Guadalupe Mts. We didn't have time to stay for a hike but did take a
short walk behind the visitors center. Guadalupe peak is the highest
point in Texas, can't remember off the top of my head but around 9000
ft. The hike is worth doing but the constant up, then down is tedious.
No doubt good exercise. I would like to spend some more time walking
the drainages here.

My little elf

On our way back to Oklahoma me and Bean slept out on a field south of
Pampa Tx. We saw some deer and a great display of stars. I took this
picture of Bean while on our morning walk in Elk City. They had a
disturbing Christmas display in their city park. Cuttouta of Elves
freak me out.

KimChi

Last week I was inspired to try many new things, among them was making KimChi. Some friends from Santa Fe brought some that they had made to a get together in TorC. It was yummy. So I made my own tonight. I love the simplicity, cut some stuff up, mix it together and put it in a jar to ferment. But I will have to figure out how to get the cost down as it cost about $6 in ingredients. Here is the Recipe I used.

Fresh Figs are Fine

I've got 3 fig trees growing in front of the trailer where I live. I
don't know exactly when to pick them but I'm going by the color. The
taste great except for the skin. I thin if I let them ripen a bit more
I could eat the whole thing. It's just hard to wait that long.

Mrs.Bean

I adopted Bean on Tuesday. She is a mix of Brittany Spaniel, Ausie
Shepherd and Red Heeler, so I'm guessing. She's really shy and well
behaved. Can't wait till she starts getting more energetic.

Crazy Moonlight

I've been camping for the last week, and man, the moonlight is intense. Almost a full moon, probably will be tomorrow. I had to snap some night photos. The fire light looks pretty cool too.

Yucca Needle

So it was a Yucca. But I'm guessing you could do the same thing with
an Agave.
