As I am writing this the fire is about 240 miles south of Albuquerque, NM and less than half a mile from Luna, NM. I am east of Albuquerque on the east side of the mountains and I can see and feel the effects of the fire. I can just imagine how bad it must be for everyone that is close to it. I have seen pictures of families leaving their homes, others who are watering down their homes to try and protect them as much as they can, and there are many animals in danger also. It is so sad. If the wind would just calm down!<br />
<br />
It was a very nice out most of the day yesterday until the wind changed and brought the smoke back in our direction.<br />

I have access to my Yahoo and Gmail, and my PeopleString email all in one place too. You can also access MSN and AOL.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">I love PeopleSring and I think that you might like it too, so I thought that I would share. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You click the Insta Portal to add what ever websites that you want to add. Below is different images of my PeopleString and how I have mine set up. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I love the Insta Portal feature! I've added all the sites that I visit the most so that I have them all in one place. My blog sites, my photo websites, my Facebook feed, yuwie, etc. There is all sorts of widgets that you can add. I love Garfield so I added his cartoon widget to my page. You can close the portals that you don't want to see. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

Each time that I log in I make money. I get people points when I play games. Play PeopleString Prize Wheel, Guess Which Hand, PeopleLotto, and a variety of other PeopleGames to win even more <b> PeoplePoints that become cash in your account! </b></span></div><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/My%20Misc/c3e515e6.jpg" /></a> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You also get .50 for each person that you refer! Plus you get paid .20 for 5 levels past the 1st sign up. It doesn't sound like much but it adds up fast! It is free to sign up so you have nothing to lose.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Around my house this week</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was messing around out in the yard when I ran into this guy. I stepped over it and I didn't even know it until I forgot something and I had to turn around.

I went in the house to grab my camera and to tell Rainey about it and when I went back to where it was it hadn't moved much at all. Rainey grabbed the axe and was going to kill it. It didn't have rattles so I figured it was a good snake so we let it go. I think it was a bull or gopher snake, but I'm not really sure.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Rick and I were going to plant the plants out in the garden this weekend and then decided to wait until next weekend. It is suppose to drop below 40° here on Wednesday and Thursday</span>. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The plants are doing fine inside. I have them in a bright spot in the kitchen and I take them outside sometimes during the day so they can get some sun. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My beautiful wildflowers...lol. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They are just weeds but still pretty in their own way....so I had to take the pic :) </span><br />

We actually reached 80°. It was a nice day as far as the weather, but our day started off on a sad note. Someones dog got hit and killed right in front of our house. We thought it was our next door neighbors dog but no one was home to ask. Rainey went over to the fire department and they told her the dog was hit sometime last night and that they had called it in. That was very sad too see.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Rick and I went to our local swap meet in Cedar Crest this morning and we bought plants for our garden. Tomatoes, peppers, squash, cilantro, broccoli,cucumber, zucchini, and a zinnia plant. The plants are already off to a good start. We bought the zinnia because we were told they repel insects. I wanted to check to see if that was true so I googled it. I found out that certain plants do repel bugs, and that some plants even enhance the flavor of other plants. Zinnias attract hummingbirds which eat whiteflies. Basil repels flies and mosquitoes and improves the growth and flavor of tomatoes. The site </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/%20http://www.ghorganics.com/page2.html" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Golden Harvest Organics</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> has a lot of information about plant diseases, companion planting, what to do about insects, pest, and critters, gardening tips, and more. I found out to keep cats and dogs out of the garden you can grind up grapefruit or lemon rind and spread it over the soil. That is just one of the tip, there is another 11 tips on the </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/%20http://www.ghorganics.com/page2.html" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Golden Harvest Organics</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> website. Tomorrow Rick is going to steak out where to make the garden. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Besides the plants I got a great deal on a beautiful old kerosene lamp from the same person that was selling the plants. I just love it and plan to actually use it. It is over 100 years old. The burner has been replaced but that is normal for as old as it is. Plus I want it to be safe. </span><br />

Now I had to figure out how to feed it to them. I couldn't just put the food in a lid and sit it on the ground. The bugs would get to it plus the lid would blow away. So I came up with the idea to nail the lid with the food in it to a stump in the front yard. It had been up a few days but no birds touched it that I know of. Then I read that the Jays like peanuts...whole peanuts still in the shell. I asked Rick to pick me up a bag of unsalted peanuts on his way home last night. So yesterday evening I put a handful of peanuts in the dish with the peanut butter and oatmeal and a couple of peanuts on the fence post. I checked and the peanuts were still there when I went to bed. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It was a very nice day today. The wind decided to leave us alone for most of the day anyway. I got up and made coffee...Rick was already up and had finished the first pot. As I was waiting for my coffee I remembered the peanuts, and when I went and checked they were all gone. I'm thinking it had to be a squirrel even though we haven't seen any in the yard so far.</span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> It was a Western Scrub-Jay. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> He took one peanut after another until all of the peanuts were gone. I would really like to know where he was taking them. When he ran out of peanuts he did eat the peanut butter and oatmeal mixture. </span><br />

It's right up the road from our house. It's not a very big swap meet but it is fun to check out and I did find something to buy... "An Identification Guide to Common Backyard Birds"...lol...the book cost me a quarter.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></div><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
In the summer the Sandia's are perfect for hiking, climbing, biking, or just going on a picnic. Hang gliding and paragliding are also popular. At the end of this blog I've added a Youtube video of a dad and his 4 year old daughter hang gliding off the Sandia Crest. It is a beautiful video that I think you will enjoy.</span><br />

The wind is going to pick up tonight and it is suppose to reach it's peak tomorrow afternoon. We could have gust up to 60 mph. I hate the wind!

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I love roses, and my husband and I planted three rose bushes over the weekend. He did most of the work. I didn't know that you had to dig a two foot hole to plant them in. Two of them are in the picture below and one on the right that you can't see. I sure hope that they do well. This is my first time planting roses. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Over the weekend I also put up the bird feeders. It is a little early for hummingbirds but I want to be ready. Male hummingbirds stake out the areas first before the females and younger hummingbirds arrive. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was excited today when I noticed the first bird at the feeder. </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/589fbd7d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/589fbd7d.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was sunny out earlier but then it turned out to be a cloudy day. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The time flew by this morning and before I know it, it is lunch time. <br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lunch today was very easy to put together. I grilled a few pieces of boneless skinless chicken breast in the oven for about 30 minutes. I coated them with a mixture of olive oil and butter and seasoned them with lemon pepper. Right when I took them out of the oven I added fresh squeezed lime and a little more course ground pepper. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/c29cb549.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/c29cb549.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lunch time was here and gone.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This afternoon I surprised Rainey with the yumminess below. I didn't want the strawberries to go to waste :)</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/5c623273.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/5c623273.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>I started by adding vanilla ice cream to the glasses. Then I blended together a lot of strawberries with a splash of milk and vanilla, and vanilla ice cream. I poured the mixture over the ice cream in the glasses and added strawberries and chocolate syrup on top to make the yummy afternoon treat.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Dividers/689486dwdfyaj1t4.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Dividers/689486dwdfyaj1t4.gif" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We got a few sprinkles of rain today which was actually nice. April showers bring May flowers and I am so ready for spring!</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Dividers/Hummersleft1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Dividers/Hummersleft1.gif" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The rest of the day I took it easy around the house until American Idol was on. It is my favorite show at the moment. Rick is out of town but he called me to say he was watching it too. We usually watch it together but he is working out of town tonight. I almost forgot...I have to go...I have to go and vote for my favorite Idol. Good night everyone. </span></span><br />

She surprised me with a crock pot on our last visit.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/4505be24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/4505be24.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><a href="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/thcook01.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/thcook01.gif" /></a>This is a very easy recipe that you can season to your own taste. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I started with a 2 1/2 to 3 pound pot roast and trimmed off the excess fat. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
Before adding the roast to the crock pot I coated it with the flour mixture below and then brown it on all sides. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/d6007b08.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/d6007b08.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I seasoned the flour with one of the McCormick steak seasonings that I had on hand. The "Montreal Steak" Grill Mate is what I used but you can use any of your favorite seasonings. I also added coarse black pepper and garlic powder. I didn't add extra salt because the Grill Mate has coarse salt in it already. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> While the roast is browning I sliced 1 large onion and lined the bottom of the crock pot with the slices.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/82d61372.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/82d61372.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I added celery, potatoes, and carrots, but you can add your own combination.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/8e056203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/8e056203.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/96b9ea7a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/96b9ea7a.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After all of your veggies are in the crock pot add the roast on top of the them.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You could cook the roast as it is at this point but I want it to make it's own gravy.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/256aa57e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/256aa57e.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After everything is in the pot I add this mixture over the top to make gravy:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 1 can of cream of mushroom soup</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 tablespoons of soy sauce</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, approx</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 1/2 tablespoons of flour (the more flour that you add the thicker the gravy will be)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/4 cup of water</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/56779009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/56779009.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/3db25e44.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m186/doddee2006/Blogging%20Photos/3db25e44.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Sometimes instead of the soy sauce I would use beef bouillon with the water. </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Worcestershire sauce can be added if you like and mushrooms, and I would have added chopped green onions on top if I had some on hand.
