You’re not in Maryland anymore Dorothy

Oh, the wind. I never knew it could be the way it is here. Some days it’s relentless.
Like yesterday. Oy. According to the National Weather Service, gusts in the valley where we live reached as high as 74 mph.
Fergus and Nigel don’t seem too affected by it.
Neither do Bernard or Ellsworth. As is always the case, wind or no wind, they’re in line ready for dinner before it’s served.
Don’t worry Mom. There’s no place like home.

A very special party
Posted by Morning Bray under Albuquerque, Dogs | Tags: akita, Albuquerque, black lab, bouvier, dachshunds, dogs, english setters, greyhound, party, pet therapy, pyrenees, shih tzu, terrier, volunteers, whippet |[16] Comments
A few weeks ago I received an invitation to attend a party celebrating the work of some local volunteers, which I was all too willing to accept. The guests of honor at yesterday’s party were very special and quite hairy.
They included a Great Pyrenees named Wotan,
a beautiful whippet named Zoe,
two long-haired dachshunds named Pippin and Max,
a very laid-back black lab named Jibar,
an Akita mix named Shilo,
two English Setters named Paloma and Spencer,
an adorable rescued terrier mix named Sam,
a Bouvier named Willow,
a greyhound named Freddie, whose mom obviously loves him,
and a Shih Tzu named Bear.
All are volunteers with the pet therapy program at one of our local hospitals and provide the most important medicine possible… love. Knock on wood that I never have to be hospitalized, but if I do, I’d like to put my request in now for each and every one of them to stop by and visit.

Sunday Cinema – Lotsa bull
Posted by Morning Bray under New Mexico, Sunday Cinema | Tags: bucking bull, PBR, Ty Murray Invitational |[6] Comments
The Professional Bull Riders, Inc. (PBR) is in town this weekend for the Ty Murray Invitational.
Can you believe the average PBR bucking bull weighs in at 1,700 to 1,800 pounds? PBR bucking bulls very rarely weigh less than 1,200 pounds, but at the high-end can weigh from 2,000 to 2,200 pounds. Very impressive, those bulls.

Saturday Stuff – Wind

They say in New Mexico you can tell spring has arrived when the winds start.
Poor Don. Yesterday’s winds ripped down his handmade Morning Bray Farm sign.
Boys, please don’t blow away, okay?

The forecast called for a winter storm to pass through yesterday morning, but as usual, we weren’t expecting any part of it. When we woke up, we were surprised with a dusting of snow.
By midday, you would have never known.

Sometimes it’s easy being green
Posted by Morning Bray under Donkeys, Farm, New Mexico | Tags: Diversion Dam, donkeys, green pastures, irrigation, Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District, Rio Grande |[7] Comments
There was very good news in last Wednesday’s Albuquerque Journal. The gates were opened at Diversion Dam and the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District was moving water again. Oh yeah. We were excited.
In a nutshell, the conservancy district supplies irrigation water to about 62,000 acres of New Mexico’s farmland from Cochiti Dam to Socorro. From March through October, four small dams divert water from the Rio Grande into a network of 400 miles of irrigation canals, one of which runs right in front of Morning Bray Farm.
That means this:
Just yesterday turned into this:
And the boys can start dreaming about green pastures once again.

Sometimes it just takes our breath away

One of the things we love about New Mexico is the light, especially at sunrise and sunset. Sometimes it just takes our breath away.
