Yesterday was the first day of the Garden Tour and it went great! The morning started off with storms and small hail but nothing was damaged and the rest of the day went well. We had a LOT of people. Everyone loved everything that Brad and I have done. For whatever reason, I never got my camera out yesterday when we had so many people wandering around the yard. If........ anyone comes back today I will try to do get a few pictures. Right now there are some pretty major storms coming through and it looks like they are set in for awhile. We are not sure what will happen with all this. The Garden Tour doesn't start until 1:00 p.m. today.
This is the back yard and the same goes for it. Photos just don't do the trick. We had somewhere in the neighborhood of 350 people show up for the Garden Tour. The club members said this is the biggest turnout ever! It was really big fun. For some reason I never got my camera out on Sunday either. Not sure what happened, other than the fact that we were always showing people around the house.
I am now in Albuquerque with Brandy hoping for a rest. We went to the Botanical Garden (of course I would want to go there) and the Aquarium the first day I arrived. This morning we went to Madrid where the movie 'Wild Hogs' was filmed. Madrid is a very interesting and quaint little town. On the way back we drove up to the top of the Sandia Crest. That is the mountain range to the east of Albuquerque. It was quite chilly at the top. 
The temp had probably dropped to around 60 when we got to the top of the mountain. It was great!
When I left B'ville on Thursday morning it was 81 at 7:00 a.m. and when I arrived in Albuquerque it was in the 50's. Wow! I had to hunt a jacket. This nice dry desert air is really great.
Enough for now...bedtime. I will post more with lots of pics later......
