Now that my creative son is living almost full time at the oasis, he decided to make a pizza oven (horno or earh oven). It's a lot of hard work. Here's a link to a short video of him making the clay coating from the clay on our big hill. (I think you can click side arrows to see more of them.)

I know nothing about earth ovens. I hope it works good for him. It's not done yet, but here's how it looked when I last saw it. I'll post photos of it when it's done and in use.
The hybrid Anna's x Rufous Hummingbird is still visiting my feeders in Alpine, going on two months now. Otherwise, nothing going on. Might be a long winter ahead if wintering birds avoid this drought-ridden region.

Hope you get lots of rain for Christmas! Or sooner.
Watching that earth oven take shape feels surprisingly inspiring; there’s something grounding about building with clay straight from the land. It even reminds me how a skilled deck builder central islip blends craft and patience. Curious to see how the finished oven performs—and if that hummingbird keeps hanging around.
The oven never performed very well. Not sure if he uses it or not.
