I just love the cows, and seeing them cross the road reminded me of when I lived in rural Ireland. Those ants sound really nasty, and thankfully you have an antidote.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-1524555350913511012016-06-11T18:56:50.409-06:002016-06-11T18:56:50.409-06:00Well, I went and checked.

Over $200K for what is basically a dump, others are in the 500K and 600K range. Huh!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-11177104122558257042016-06-11T18:48:38.424-06:002016-06-11T18:48:38.424-06:00Love the balloon picture, it's a classic.

They get a little snow in winter maybe? Is it expensive there?

I was up on the edge of the Mogollon Rim for 4 days, then in Blue Ridge Campground for 3 more days last week. It got up into the mid 80's several days, so I know it was quite a bit warmer down near Cottonwood.<br />Hope to run into you on the road someday. I'd love to meet you, and my Hanna would love to get to know Katie.AZDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11191411549873539832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-50895296431230924492016-06-08T20:53:15.965-06:002016-06-08T20:53:15.965-06:00Loved all your pics... those cacti blooms are some...Loved all your pics... those cacti blooms are something else!!!

You need to be totally self contained because there's usually no trash receptacles, no water available, and no dump station for the grey and black tanks. You just drive up, find a good level spot and park. Usually in beautiful country. We were parking on Forest land - where you can camp for 14 days for free, then you have to move on for a time. There are two different forests there, so we went from one to the other and then back again. We got water and dumped our tanks and trash at the local fairground for a fee. It's usually very quiet and peaceful and beautiful. You would love it. :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-7282692896992490842016-06-07T18:43:51.644-06:002016-06-07T18:43:51.644-06:00Crikey ...... that was some post, aye??

I'm sure that bull was just trying to keep all the attention on himself so his dear Mrs cow could give birth in peace. What a good bloke!! That little town sure looks beautiful and all those flowers and birds. Oh My!! AND the moon ...... beautiful!! Good to see Katie too. Sorry about the ant bite. I've had those.

Thanks!<br /><br />Thanks too for sharing about the baking soda paste. Katie is blessed to have a mom to look out for her even when she doesn't want to be bothered. With my TBI, I can't figure out what the ratio is to make a paste but I'll ask some peeps in camp.<br /><br />Sedona is one of my fav places. One morning balloons landed in our camp due to high winds. That was exciting! I love Jerome. The bookstore there was one of the first to buy my book! I look forward to going back this fall. I love your adventures and pics.

That would work for a person (or a pet that will just lay there and let you smear it on). Since Katie won't let me NEAR her and I do believe she would bite me - she is in so much pain and distress - the first time I watered it down, put it in a clean squirt bottle that's made for ketchup or mustard. I held it above her and just squeezed. She let out a scream when it hit her, but almost immediately calmed down a little, and I squirted more on her foot. The bite was between the pads of her foot, and the liquid landed on the top of her foot, but it dripped down and got the right place. She went from intense pain to normal in an amazingly short time.
