These are some of the garden plots.
I learned that when you add the pictures they go to the top of the list. The first is one Elder Olson tilled for Rose Dallas, who is a widow, with several grand daughters. They put the fence up.
The next one belongs to Delaine Henry. She and her brother put this one up. Notice how neat and tidy it is.
The third picture shows Darrell Maloney opening the door of the traditional Navajo hogan where his brother lives.
The fourth shows Darrell Maloney and Elder Olson. Hidden behind their heads across the highway you will find Wayne Smith's home and garden.
The next shows Wayne Smith's garden. You will notice that there is blow sand being used to fill up the right side, where it is a lot lower than the left side.
The next belongs to Haskie and Geneva Black who live on a rock basically. We were surprised he could find enough dirt to till. We had 3 little trees that had volunteered to come up in the flower garden that lies between the apts. Elder Seeley said two were apricot trees and 1 Siberian Elm. We gave them to the Blacks who were thrilled. Elder Meldrum didn't realize what they were and was going to till them under until Elder Olson saved them. We thought they were apple trees. ;o} The Hopis raise a lot of fruit down off the Mesa below them. One of their mesas is just north of us, less than 2 miles away. When you cross the intersection the time zone changes.
The last which should be first, is what gardens look like in the spring. They have some cleaning up to do, but it was a great garden last year and should be again this year. They had a root cellar they used for years and years, but the snakes liked it also, so they had to do away with both the cellar and the snakes. Makes my hair stand on end just to think about it. They have a huge garden area within a hundred feet where they grow lots and lots of vegetables and fruit.
It is fun to see the pictures. I also learned about the pictures going to the top, but then if you click below them when you are typing, I think you can write around them. I'll have to play around with this blog or my own blog more and figure it out, but I am pretty sure it is possible. With the Daylight Savings Time thing, are you on the same time as Wyoming and Utah right now or an hour different?
ReplyDeleteI think you have to alternate which area you put the picture on the blog in order to type around it (some in the center, some on the left and some on the right..there is an option when you add them for that). Somehow you were able to do it with your previous post. I have discovered with my own blog that if I try to put one picture on the left, the next in the center and the next on the right, then it tends to overlap the pictures when it shows on the blog. You can still see the pictures, but you have to click on the ones that are partially hidden in order to see the whole thing. Anyway, the blogging thing is a whole learning process.
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends blogs regularly and had her blog made into a book by a company who does that for around $40. It was pretty cool.
