Are really good if you are a baby squirrel.

JOHN MICHAEL
John Michael is a conductor on the Santa Fe Railroad. 
As a young boy he traveled to Santa Fe with his family to meet a guest at the train station. As they waited, "Mike" watched in wonder as the conductor, in his blue suit, punched tickets and helped ladies to board all the while paying close attention to his watch. 
The very best part, however, was when he stepped up onto the train, grabbed the handrail, and leaning out over the platform with all pomp and circumstance would yell, "All Aboard!". From that day on, Mike knew this is what he wanted to do. The power he would have, to hold that mighty train at bay until he yelled "All Aboard !".
Mike is also Bradford's best friend, since they were small boys. They fished and swam together and built a secret tree house in Bradford's back yard. Bradford even asked him to be his best man at The Wedding That Never Happened.

A WEDNESDAY MORNING TREAT...
I had coffee this morning on my back porch...with my little friend. He declined the coffee, preferring grass. He's pretty little....

ELLA
Ella is married to the president of the First Bank of Pinedale. Her dresses are store bought and she wears makeup and jewelry. 
Ella has several pairs of shoes that match her dresses. She has a standing appointment at the beauty shop. 
She and Annie have been good friends since sixth grade when Ella's family moved to Pinedale. Annie was kind to "the new girl" and Ella has never forgotten. Although their economics are different, they have remained close friends.

SUNFLOWER FESTIVAL
Every year at the end of August, Mountainair NM presents their "Sunflower Festival". Although it changes some every year there is one constant that is truly wonderful. I offer you a glimpse of the Children's Sunflower Art !
This is generally the first class assignment/project of the year in the Mountainair schools and is eagerly anticipated by the students as well as the residents. 
The sunflower artwork is displayed in the store front windows and the children are anxious to show off their art to family and friends.
The colors this year were especially bright and photographing them behind glass was a challenge. However, the effect is wonderful, don't you think? Enjoy!

BRADFORD......ANNIE'S OLDER BROTHER
Bradford is a bean farmer. 
His face is always sunburned and his strong arms are tanned. He is a quiet man and a hard worker. 
His face is always sunburned and his strong arms are tanned. He is a quiet man and a hard worker. A long time ago, he asked Harriet to marry him. She broke his heart. She was sure her future was more than "a farmer's wife". She was sure she would be famous. Harriet and Bradford have never married, each other or anyone else. They do remain friends. Perhaps some day......
