WHAT'S DOWN WITH THE BREHMS AS OF 7/10/11

WE'RE WATCHING YOU

Howdy friends and neighbors. It's been another fun sucker week in Verde Valley AZ. The monsoon season is upon us. We get at least one T-storm per day, so the humidity is up from 7% to 30%. I have been doing a few minor projects on the motorhome and the Jeep, while Diane has been taking photos of the birds. We took a drive to "Old Cottonwood" today. Went to an antique dump and picked up a neat old cast iron Dutch Oven. It will take some cleaning up, but maybe my good friend Glenn will send me some recipes. We also visited the Tuzigoot Indian apartment complex, which was occupied from 1000 AD to about 1400. Hope all is going well with you and that you are enjoying your summer. Love & God Bless, Rrrrrrramon and Diana...........................

BIRDING IN VERDE VALLEY

One of the great things about this area are the wide variety of birds. Diane has her perch right next to the window by one of our bird feeders. She watches with her stealthy camera and catches some good shots.

PEEPING CARDINALS

These guys are getting pretty brazen.

800 YEAR OLD GOVERNMENT HOUSING

For about 400 years, Sinagua and Yavapai indians called this home. There were 6000 to 9000 at a time residing here. Good soil for farming, some game, and the Verde River close by.

TUZIGOOT APARTMENT COMPLEX

This picture is taken about half way up the complex. Below is the fertile Verde Valley with the Verde River.

TUZIGOOT ANNIVERSARY
