Life above the clouds....

So, this blog is called A Life Above The Clouds... Why you may ask?

Well, I'm glad you did.

Quite frankly it is because our home is often above the clouds.

Or even with the clouds.

Or in the clouds.

Well, you get the point.

This phenomenon is known as inversion, I believe.  It happens occasionally in the mornings over Sierra Blanca peak. 

Sometimes were lucky enough to have a rainbow or two.

...and beautiful sunsets.

And sometimes... Hopefully only once in our lifetime... We have clouds of smoke...

This was from the Little Bear fire of 2012.  More on that later..... And more on how this front of the house looks completely different in another post.

It is Time....

So, It is time that I resurrect this blog:

Having said that let me explain why this blog has been in hiberbation.

As you can see from my last post, we had a celebration.  A wedding to be precise.

We exchanged our vows along the banks of the Bonito River last fall with a host of friends and family.
(More posts of this to come)

So now that things have settled - and by this I mean settled to a steady Mach I pace - I have decided I have some time to begin sharing all the things happening around the mountain we live on.

I will post wedding photos and building the ranch photos and traveling photos and who knows what else will tickle my fancy!

But. 

I am on a mission to resurrect this blog and hopefully in the near future my other blog: Passions and Pastimes  This blog too has fallen off to the side because of many reasons - the least of which is that I have crafting materials scattered between our home, our cabin, my dad's house and storage in the barn.  I will be working toward rectifying this in the coming months.  I have really missed sewing, jewelry making, crafting, painting and really missed designing and making stained glass.  Now with our house building project in full swing, I will need to get busy at least with the designing part so I can get windows designed for our home!

Well, I broke the ice.

The blog is on the recovery and... now I have to go help erect walls.  
Details to come!

A day of celebration!

We celebrated with our family and friends this past Saturday as we committed ourselves to each other for the rest of our lives, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health..all the traditional vows.  After a couple days of recovery and settling back into work yesterday we have begun a new chapter in our lives....

Photos to come as I get them back!
