A Surprise for You
Never fear. I disappeared for a bit, but am back today with something simply amazing. We hated the idea of keeping you all in suspense for so many months as the HGTV Dream Home 2010 gets built and furnished so we … decided … to … install a Dream Cam at the construction site! Yep, that’s right. You can check in each day to view new photos and then talk about them right here. We can’t wait to see what you have to say. So … view away!
That is so cool!! Thanks and good to hear from you again. We missed ya!
YAY MARY!!!!!!! Very, very cool! Well, this was certainly worth the wait! I hope you had some well deserved time off and went somewhere fabulous for a few days Mary.
Living the Dream!
Wow, this new thread is more exciting and powerful than I ever imagined—I wrote out a comment, hit the post button, and my computer screen went white, my post was obliterated, and my computer frozen. Now THAT’s strong stuff.
Suffice to say, I’m jazzed about the Dream Cam. That will keep bloggers happy, viewers connected, and everyone, including MARY, in high spirits! A great use of technology, those web cams, especially in a long term project like building a Dream Home.
Nothing like instant access! Thanks, MARY, and welcome back.
Hi bloggers,I’am going out on a limb and guessing lot #87(Only cause it’s blocked) but looks like lot#79’s vista. Danny
Wow! love this cam, it’s like the blog cabin, now we can see the construction daily yea!
Mary,
Glad you’re back!
You guys at HGYV are awesome!!! I like the way you continually keep your bloggers and their need to know in mind.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the cam. Will be checking it out daily.
A 3,900 square foot Pueblo Home with a view of the mountains………Life does not get any better than that!
This is GREAT!
Totally AWSOME!!! I moved from the Great Lakes region to the South West. It’s beautiful out here. Thanks HGTV!
Definitely high desert country. Love the dream home cam. Reminds me to check the cabin cam today. I can hardly wait to see the type of construction methods they will be using. Thanks Mean Mary!
Nice touch! Thanks!
I am still staying with lot #87 in phase 2 is the DH 2010 lot!
Wow! Thanks Guys…just looking at the views and I’m relax!
Wonderful!!! Really great ideal! Thanks Mary <3
What a great idea!
Hey Mary: This is absolutely fabulous…being connected to the the HGTV Dream Home 2010 home site by cam located in Sandia Park is innovated & letting us be a part of it every day is well-thought out by HGTV!!! Thank you very much!!! It looks quiet and peaceful there this morning!!!
The area along the Turquoise Trail with a gaze of the majestic San Pedro Mountains lets me know that Jack really did his homework for this upcoming Dream Home!! WOW!! I have to admit, the anticipation is growing towards the unveiling of the house plans….and, I have thoughts & hopes that HGTV might teach us the art of building with the earth…adobe clay? Maybe the cam with show mornings that will be packed with hands on building, and afternoons will be a mix of more building and relaxing in a true Siesta mode. In the evenings maybe the cam will show a time to enjoy good food, music and the exploration of ideas with new friends! Who knows what HGTV might have up their sleeves for the DH2010 Pueblo-style home? Never-the-less, it would be wonderful to see how integrating materials of sand, clay, soil and straw would go into the whole building process. Would HGTV be using local, abundant materials? It is a whole new exciting DREAM….I’m DREAMIN’ BIG once again!! Thank you HGTV!!
“You were all correct on your speculation and please forgive our website as we are working on consolidating them into one. The dream home will be on #87. It’s a 3-acre site and as you can see from the camera there are beautiful views. We are still awaiting the home plans. Have a great friday!”
Thanks Dutch for the confirmation of my guess several days ago! Great lot!
Very, very nice job njgal!
Living the Dream!
What a great idea! It will be fun to follow the construction from the beginning. I visited the Santa Fe area many many years ago and I really enjoyed the scenery. I also love the Native American pottery and textiles from the area. I can’t remember the type of pottery style but it has a black glaze with geometric designs carved in the clay. I’m sure Linda will be including many examples of local art in the decor of the Dream Home.
oooooooo We get to watch! FABULOUS! I am all eyes now!
MARY, I just wanted to report a possible problem with the Dream Cam: Are you sure it’s pointed in the right direction? I just checked it a few minutes ago, and there’s no sign of any walls going up yet, much less Jack or anyone else waving at the camera.
On another note, I’m with susan; I’m looking forward to all of the great local artwork that Linda Woodrum will likely incorporate into and showcase in the interior design AND exterior-scape of the Dream Home.
I’ll be keeping an eye out for a special piece or two to bring into my home, so I may have to beat Lessie to the shops and galleries before her November visit.
The camera seems to be working fine on my computer here in the backwoods. I see the time lapse and what looks to be wood in and on the ground with trucks and what may have been someone waving.
Love the location and what will be an amazing landscape but can’t get over the beautiful sky at sunset time. It is absolutely gorgeous.
Also nice to see the camera is far enough away that it will not be in the way of the workers making their job easier. We do not have to see every little nook and cranny being built-just built.
Each home has so much character and divine design. I enjoy taking tours through each home. I am so impressed with the green home
and all the wonderful recycled pieces you gave new life. The color’s are so soothing and to have a roof garden would be like awe.
I love the dining room, the entry and the lush land. Well really I love the whole place and everything about it. Great work and I look for ward to the HGTV next home project. Congrat’s on a job well done!
This is awesome!!! I am so excited that we will all be able to enjoy watching this Dream Home be built.
DBCoop,
The race is on! How will I know it’s you that I bump into while browsing the shops and galleries in NM?
Marie Miller can be the judge. But if Lynn Coggin is with me, she can verify that I got there first.
I think you’ll recognise me, Lessie, especially if you happen to be holding that one unique piece of art that I have to have..
Dutch, glad to read that the Campbell Ranch Realty folks are consolidating and updating their website. (All the better for potential buyers as well.) As you’ll see, Dream Home bloggers are sticklers for detail. And as HGTV’s Senior Editor, Mary, knows, we are constantly seeking more, and wanting it NOW!
Speaking of being informed, in a previous thread, Lynn Coggin rightfully mentioned the E.W. Scripps Company (and Mr. Rich Boehne, president and CEO) and the community service provided by the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
That post reminded me, in our quest for truth and the American way, or simply for those who REALLY MUST KNOW, The E.W. Scripps Company is an American media conglomerate, founded on November 2, 1878. However, on July 1, 2008, the company was split into two publicly traded companies, The E. W. Scripps Company (newspapers, TV stations, licensing/syndication) and Scripps Networks Interactive (HGTV ((Hi, Mary)), Food Network, DIY Network, Fine Living, Great American Country, Shopzilla, and uSwitch.)
Mr. Kenneth Lowe is chairman, president, and CEO of Scripps Networks Interactive, while Mr. Jim Samples is president of HGTV.
In related news, Nackey E. Scagliotti, a great-granddaughter of the company’s founder, became chairwoman of The E.W. Scripps Company’s board of directors on May 5, 2009.
You can now consider yourselves INFORMED, AND IN THE KNOW!
By the way, Lessie, if you’re with Lynn AND lovelykitty, I don’t stand a chance of getting my hands on the best pieces of art.

DBCoop and sagg99/sheilagg1,
Great posts! Thanks for keeping us updated on Scripps and Amy Coburn.
Have a great day!
The word Sandia is from Spanish, and means watermelon.
How close to this site is Sandia Labs?
and Los Alamos?
Wow! It will be exciting to watch this house as it is being constructed. I’m sure it will be as beautiful as the others.
What a great place to build the dream house!
Loving the sunsets,dreaming of New Mexico
Cathy,
Great question about the labs! Sandia Labs has a large presence in ABQ, with about 8900 employees and an additional 2000 contract workers. Several of our residents work at the lab and it’s about 25 minutes from the Overlook.
I love it its gorgeous and I will wait to see the construction.
I have been waiting since the first dream home for one to be built in beautiful new mexico…i am so excited about being able to watch…yep…a dream home for sure this one!
Awesome choice for the next dream home. We have lived in both Albuquerque and Roswell NM. I’d move back in a heartbeat!
Can’t wait to see the finished home.
I visited and left part of my heart and soul there. This my dream!!! I’ve been waiting since the ninety’s to move to God’s country. HGTV has finally gotten the spot right. My bags are packed, I’m on my way.. HOME SWEET HOME..! No better place to retire in the world. Thanks for this opportunity!
Maria
I’d love to see the house, but the sunsets are almost worth living in a tent to see. Can’t believe how wonderful they are. Hope there is a great big wall of windows on that side to get a show every evening.
I’m so excited about this project; what a location! I can’t wait to see the architectural drawings..my pre-conceived idea of what the house will look like is probably going to be totally wrong.
Wellcome back Mary
ok. I have seen the dream homes before and just had a question. All of the dream homes have been in nice HOT locations, some of us arent too thrilled about living in the dessert or the humidity of the lower southern regions due to medical problems. Is there any point in time where you will be building a dream home in another region or maybe one completely unexpected like the midwest (upper) where eco green meets the elements? that would be awesome and I would totally love to see that one and I’d enter too. sorry the house in NM sounds amazing and I’ve seen the one in FL too, beautiful homes you guys did well. I’d change just a few things in the layout but overall very well done.
anyway thanks for listening and a chnace to get my question out here.
I would love a spanish style sprawling ranch,
Like the ponderosa,remember the show Bonanza all you baby boomers.The rustic furniture and cow hide chairs,wagon wheel chandelier ha ha ha and a horse or two.This is fun for me cant you tell!.
I, like most people hoping to win the 2010 HGTV Dream Home, probably can’t afford to keep it, but I still want to win it! I’m expecting a fabulous home, and at 3900 square feet, it will be very spacious. I can’t say I’m as thrilled with the high desert as Islamorada (2008 location), but the location is beautiful (and safer from hurricanes).
The sunsets are just breathtaking!
Thanks for the cam!
Wow, I checked Google maps and the home site is at an elevation of more than 6200 feet! No worries about it being too hot to sleep–nights are usually in the fifties all summer.
Hey this is great place where my son that has a disability problim he can have his own yard sometime he has to stay home.this can be his dream home he always talked about.
This is the perfect spot for this dream home, NM, how wonderful. I lived there for a year when my husband was in the military. What amazing opportunities HGTV, gives people to dream about.
Thanks for all your cooking shows, and seeing Paula Deen reminds me of living in Albany, GA, wish I could have met her. just shows dreams do come true. Linda.
Have just been online checking out the latest goings on with HGTV. I am beyond jazzed about the location, property size, style and square footage of the 2010 Dream Home. This house will be a wow! What an exciting architectural style…a contemporary adobe. My mind is running wild with possiblities. The web cam is a fantastic idea. Will enjoy checking in on the progress. I have to say, I was not excited about the 2009 Dream Home. Guess it is too familiar a style type and little town feel, like we have here locally in Santa Ynez, Los Olivos. Though, I am a big fan of the Central Coast and California wine country. I really am spoiled by living here. We have the ocean, beaches, beautiful rolling hill sides, and the lovely landscapes of the interior valleys. We enjoy amazing local wineries and restaurants. Hope everyone on this site has a chance once in thier life to drive scenic route 101 from Santa Barbara to San Fransisco. Of all the other places I have been, New Mexico is in my memory as one of the most beautiful. The sky is an inspiration itself. I could spend countless hours painting it. I will be entering every day in hopes to win HGTV Dream Home 2010.
Loving the opportunity to watch this Dream Home being built. I already love the view at sunset.
Oh my gosh, the way you all keep coming up with great designs and beautiful locations is just amazing and good for us!
I love to design so can really appreciate the time, thought to detail and team effort that is obvious in your green home and dream home(s). The idea and insight regarding location is a wonderful tribute to a great living experience and community. During these hard economic times as I and many experience a loss of a job, it is so nice to be able to dream of living in a place where community is vital whether you are looking towards retirement, raising a family or just starting over which your green home and the upcoming 2010 dream home will fill.
My son in law is a Spanish and Japanese interpreter for our local pro baseball team the Seattle Mariners, so New Mexico is a favorite among all of us as well as we have lots of family in Florida awaiting us, ha! Thank you for allowing us to view both and follow the dream home so closely.
Aaaaaah, I will close my eyes and dream big of spending time gardening, reading, writing and enjoying family & grandchildren in such a serene and surreal setting, with such a connection to community and great cultural experiences.
Love the feeling of permanence in either setting that you’ve achieved. I could easily move right in! Thanks HGTV team you are terrific and so very entertaining and educational!
I was really surprised to see that the new HG 2010 Home was located outside Santa Fe. I am so excited! It has been my lifelong dream to live in New Mexico. I love this area and grew up spending time there as a child, and I have always felt this force pulling me back to that area intermittenly throughout my life. It is my goal to eventually move and live out my life in the “Land of Enchantment”.
Wow, how exciting for the Dream Home 2010 location to be on the Tourquois Trail! I lived in Albuquerque several years ago and loved it. I lived in the foothills of the Sandia mountains and driving home with the sun setting turned the mountains a watermelon color(the name Sandia came from..)
So much wonderful culture in the area with the hot air ballon fiesta, and the native american culture is wonderful to be a part of. I would love to move back and will be entering ever day!
I lived in Bosque Encantado along the Rio Grande River in Bernalillo, NM for several years. I can atest to the fact that the 2010 Dream Home is being built in the most enchanting location yet. The mile high elevation has vibrant blue skies and the mountains turn a watermelon red at sunset. NM is a great place to live!
Well well, a big surprise indeed, Thank you for the dream cam, I love it! LOL. Can’t wait to see it grow into a dream home. Now I can be SECHI again.
Greetings Mary & Gail, I must say, New Mexico, absolutely, COOL choice for HGTV’s 2010 Dream Home.
I soo agree Moondoggy; It’s all about feelin it. You possess mega-smarts & common sense, a gift for picking the perfecto, dream home locations.
From one feeling person to another, for example the feeling I felt when I seen your handsome face for the first time. That special feelin, when, I hear that warm buttery caramel voice of yours. Just makes a girl want dessert before dinner is all.
B. J. Thomas Hooked on a feelin la la laaa.
New Mexico it is, then you must, Moondoggy, incorporate into your overall design a ‘Mini Observatory” with a totally mind blowing personal telescope to checkout the beautiful NM shies, those starry nights, and one of the first to witness planet Nibiru approach from the South. We call it planetX over at town hall. Yeah, okay, whatever, I’m a huge conspiracy theorist, (I heard that). New Mexico has a few conspiracy theorist of there own. In defense of myself, don’t take my word for it.
There I was, just minding my own business, discovering the wonders and capabilities of my new high-speed internet… sorta like the difference between wagon trains & motor vehicles. Compounded by the humongous disappointment, in not only losing, the 2009 DH, in wine country. My favorite Monday night, Doctor ‘House’ season finale. I Otta!
Fast forward, while trying to decide on which state to relocate too, Cali, Iowa, NM, Washington, take full advantage of the mortgage fallout. Like, I mentioned, minding my own business, I pop over to enter my daily chance to win the 2009 Green Home.
I decide to mosey on over, have a-walk-about, so to speak. Two words ‘YouTube’ OMG!
I got close-lined, shanghaied, by watching Marshall Masters, Surviving 2012 and Planet X Part 1-5. What the planet-X is going on, propelling me to seek out my own truths.
Hmm first, what might, Stephen Hawking, and the likes of physicist Michio Kaku have to say on the subject of Nibiru.
After discovering soo many theories and the underground Norwegian military base, then lead me down a path of no return, and according to some of my family members, I’ve gone off the deep end, coo-coo-for-coco-puffs. Speaking of puffing, I promise, I’m not puffing anything.
So moving onto Planet X Town Hall, which just so happens to have, some really, (I mean really), smart NASA folks on board. Its no secret I would never be considered for hire with NASA. “The Geeks Don’t Want No Freaks” (Gotta busta rhyme here), Don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me… Don’t you wish your girlfriend was a freak like me! I’m just kidding! LOL, I refuse to allow those little factoids from engaging the super smart. Scripps, I know you’re laughing-out-loud.
Anyways, I learned that Nibiru is coming from the Southern hemisphere. Check it out Moondoggy, this is one of many reasons a cool mini observatory & telescope incorporated into HGTV’s NM 2010 Dream Home would be the ultimate to possess.
In closing, I just want to thank the person or persons responsible for inventing these short online videos, if not for them, I would be, missing out on our ever-so-hot-hot-hot, Jack Thomasson, Moondoggy caught on tape. Hooked on a feelin la la laaa Congrats, NM.
I lived in NM all of my life and am taken away with such a beautiful site for the dream home of 2010! I moved away from NM and really miss it soo much that at times I cry! its a beautiful place to raise kids and the weather is so great, sun all of the time! Thanks for the cam what a great way to show the construction and set up of a beautiful home in NM.
Ummm…from one of my favorite movies…”I’ll have what she’s having.”
Living the Dream!
I must say ,I think you really have found a great spot. God must had lead you there, because it is heavenly. Keep up the great work, all of you are so very talented and creative.
That area is so peaceful!! I love keeping up on the progress of things, so the cam is going to be alot of fun to watch. I hope they do a rooftop type of entertaining area. This is something that would be alot of fun to hang out with friends on.
GONNA BE GREAT TO WATCH THE PROGRESS OF THE 2010 DREAM HOME….WILL BE ANXIOUSLY WATCHING THE PROGERESS..EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR SHOW IS FABULOUS AND AND KNOW THE NEW DREM HOME WILL BE TOO!!!!! THANKS FOR LETTING US WATCH IT GO UP….
What an absolutely beautiful location! We am ready to move in!
What an absolutely beautiful location! We are ready to move in as soon as the home is finished!
LOL Lynn….me2
Sansational! I love the beach! And enjoy my water in a glass. I would love to have my painting teacher adn class spend so QUALITY time painting! I know they would love it as much as I.
Wow!! There is no more awesome place in the world than where you have picked to build. What a great spot. I moved away from NM back to TX after working 4 yrs on a reservation. My heart is still in NM remembering the fantastic sky paintings, as I call them – the fresh, dry air, all the open land to explore – the fantastic views in every direction. Whoever wins this house will be in absolute heaven. Judging from past house you’ve built, I’m sure this one will be stunning.
OK, gang, I’m new to this so be gentle. You seem to be a fairly tight-knit group so I’m hoping you can add one more person to the group.
Back in the early 70s, I drove my little baby blue VW into Santa Fe and fell in love. A few years later, I volunteered at a little school in Chimayo, New Mexico and the love affair was sealed. I have been back several times and now that my sons are grown, I think that this may be the place I’d like to spend my Golden Elder Years. There is a reason this is called the Land of Enchantment. To whoever is lucky enough to make this your home, you will be blessed with so much more than just a home. And, should it be me, I promise a pajama party the likes of which you’ve never seen before.
Signed ~
Patti (the new kid on the block)
Patti Kerr – Welcome aboard! I was a blog stalker for a number of years and then starting blogging here…the people here are wonderful…love them! I hope to meet them all some time in the future!
Happy to hear from you!
Living the Dream!
Hi Patti Kerr, your post took me back girl… mentioning your 70’s baby blue VW. Remember, Hot Pants, Ditto high-waist jeans, Farrah Fawcett hair, (my heartbreaks for Farrah and her struggle with cancer). Charlie Angle’s (I wanted to be Jaclyn Smith, still a classic beauty), the Beach Boys, Motown, Jim Morrison, (too many greats to list).
Valerie Bertinelli, I had the pleasure of working with her father at GM for many years. Valerie the real deal, a genuine sweetheart. Remember shows like, Happy Days, (the fonz). Welcome Back Kotter, All in the Family, the Jefferson; Laugh In, Cheers, Bob’s Big Boy Drive In… Bubble up, RC Cola. Roller Skates, PF Flyers, Consequences & Good Manners. LOL
Drive-In theaters, (which would still be cool under those blue clear skies in NW). Steven Spielberg’s Jaw’s I still suffer from a mild case of Jaw’s PTS whenever near the water. Cruising, the Boulevard, OMG! Those really were some of the best times. Anyway, I had a Chevy Luv Truck then my 1975 lime green VW with a sunroof, that VW carried, (full of young crazy tanned girls in bikini’s), all summer long from the Valley to Zuma Beach. I honestly feel that was my favorite ride!
Thank you, Patti for spurring the stroll down memory lane. Possibly, Moondoggy, (Jack Thomasson), might incorporate some type of, classic VW dun buggy, maybe an outside soda fountain/outside theater, well stocked with some of the oldies but goodies incorporated into the New Mexico 2010 Dream Home.
Scripps, always made me feel welcome and so will you.
I am so excited to see the HGTV Dream Home 2010 was selected in New Mexico. I am a sixth generation New Mexican, and very proud of it. There is so much beauty, spirituality, culture, history, and natural resources in New Mexico. Way to go HGTV!
Welcome Patti,Also all you women bloggers wouldnt you like to see Jack T back in the 70s,since were strolling down memory lane. Can yah see him now with faded jeans, on a horse,tan,no shirt with a cowboy hat on!! Ridin the range of Dream home 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!Woah!! as he rides up to to your new dream home to borrow a cup of sugar.ha ha
It is a beautiful day to enjoy the sunshine at San Pedro Overlook! Having just moved here the beginning of March I never imagined such beauty. Even when describing high desert it did not seem appealing, however as I was driving up the mountains on the Turquoise Trail and saw all the beautiful undeveloped and preserved land on the east side of the Trail I knew this was a special place. And this morning the dream continues! Hope everyone has a great Sunday and Karyn: I only wish Mary & Lynn would come over and ask me if they could borrow a cup of sugar! LOL!
Hmm, I better, go with the PG version, in my 70’s fantasy Moondoggy drive’s up in his candy apple red SS Super Sport Convertible with the 8-track tape blaring, jumps over the door in his tie-dye tank-top, Levi cut-offs & flip-flops. The biggest smile, that dervish grin, surely could break a young girl’s heart.
Knock, knock, Hello Miss Charlotte, (in that smooth southern black velvet voice), I do declare, my mama went to prepare her finest peach cobbler and learned our sugar jar was empty. Could you spare a cup or two? We don’t want to put you out none. Well now, Mr. Nascar, come in, shut the screen door behind you, we don’t want to let the flies in. Here JT take this jar to your mama, tell her, it is, my pleasure. Thank you Miss Charlotte, I’ll bring you some cobbler later. Anytime, now you slow down and tell your mama hello.
Now the conflict in this fantasy depending on what part of the 70’s we are tiptoeing through the tulips, there is a huge probability I could have been his babysitter and not his Mrs. Robinson. As those back tires spun up the dust from the dirt road, sending up exhaust clouds from a young man’s wild energy. The wind blowing through his long blonde sun-kissed locks, the music loud, as the lyrics begin to echo and fade off in the distance. I begin to tap my toes, sway from side to side swishin my sundress & hand sew apron, humming a few notes, I sing along to his righteous choice of tunes…
A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they’d be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I’d deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn’t take one more step
I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
So,
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’ this’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day that I die
I started singin’
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye. La la laaa
When can we see a floor plan of the new 2010 Dream home in New Mexico?
Since there is sun for over 300 days a year it seems that this location would be Fantastic for PV solar pannels,solar hot water, and Wind energy.
That said, Will there be any Solar Wind or Geothermal energy saving products in this HGTV home design?
If not why not?
I always told my husband this is where we were going to retire. Can’t wait for it to be built and the contest to begin.Thanks HGTV for something to really look forward to.
POD Cover Story in Astronomy and Technology Today
Read how POD came to be in Astronomy Technology Today. POD Creator, Wayne Parker, who’s a Grammy Nominated, Juno Award winning musician, writes about his dream of creating an affordable, highly functional observatory.
Click Here to read the story. Click Here to read an accompanying review by Dave Miller.
Thanks to the great people at ATT for their support!
I found this site/info on functional observatories. These are very, very, affordable.
Just imagine how much fun the lucky person would have, owning their very own Wayne Parker, I mean, observatory in your own backyard. I think the POD would go nicely with 2010 New Mexico Dream Home.
Kat, sorry I missed your comment over at Green Home blog. The Native, 10 Commandments, is timeless in its teachings.
Thank you. Happy to know you appreciated those words of wisdom from ancestors that have long time passed on, yet lived their daily lives by those very words of great meaning & instruction. Many truths and depth in those wise old souls, like they new somehow, if future generations were not mindful bad things were in store for our beloved planet earth and its inhabits.
Perhaps since we now know better, we will do better. Like you, I love color too. I think it’s safe to assume, so did our Divine Creator. Even our planet, when viewed from a far off distance is breath taking.
Like a massive bowl of gooey blue goodness with swirls of heavy cream etching a creative design per each individuals visual perception.
The list is endless. California poppy fields in full bloom on a bright warm sunny day, unforgettable. Those Iowa oceans of emerald green cornfields, makes you ponder how they all manage to grow up to the same height, offering up such a beautiful nurturing sweet yellowness. So much natural beauty we take for granted Mother Nature’s Grandness we are blessed benefactors of her endless patients & devoted love.
Anyway, I personally wish you best luck when they spin the wheel, for the winner of this year’s, Green Dream Home, (A beautiful dream home); I get excited when Moondoggy JT announces the new location each year.
Sonoma, (Wine country), was my ultimate dream fancy, they came they built it, somebody else won it, boo hoo. In my world, you just cannot top Sonoma perfection.
On second thought, a chance at winning an Italianate Villa or Castle Dream Home, (besides, require the need for CPR), I cannot say fore sure, but where Scripps is concerned, there’s always tomorrow isn’t there.
However, in the meantime, (hint, hint), I do enjoy watching the excitement in others when our dream home locations are chosen & showcased.
Kat, I check-in about once a week (Have a walk-about so to speak). If you win the 2009 HGTV Green Dream Home, I’ll hear your screams ?
Knock, knock…
Dutch, could I please borrow a cup of sugar?
Hopefully soon I will be seeing you and saying that!
Living the Dream!
New Mexico is so great! Especially the peace and quiet. I love the hot weather and the big sky. They have some of the most beautiful sunsets that you will ever see in your life! I would go outside almost every evening just to see all the beautiful colors. I grew up in New Mexico and miss it so much. And not so many people liked lightning, but sometimes I would even enjoy the “light show” nature has to give. Cant wait for this contest. I will be here more than once a week for sure!! This is MY HOME!
Moondoggy, if you find yourself sailing down route66 with the top down, please slip in a,(nobody sings a-love song better), Elvis CD. Well, I cannot say it any better…
Welcome to my world,
Won’t you come on in
Miracles, I guess
Still happen now and then
Step into my heart
Leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world
Built with you in mind
Knock and the door shall be open
Seek and you will find
Ask and you’ll be given
The key to this heart of mine
I’ll be waiting there
With my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world….
It like you are standing on the most beautiful place in the world and you are thinking to your self that it is a hot summer day and you can reach up and break of a snow cloud to get cool off with and it would be real cold to touch it. It is t very breath taking.
NICE!
Sometimes these smiley faces used in a post give me the creeps, they remind me of the song written by Norman Whitfield, ‘Smiling Faces,’ because… Well the words in the song say it all. Sorta, like the chucky doll.
Smiley faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiley faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within
Smiley faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don’t tell the truth uh
Smiley faces, smiley faces
Tell lies and I got proof
The truth is in the eyes
Cause the eyes don’t lie, amen
Remember a smile is just
A frown turned upside down
My friend let me tell you
Smiley faces, smiley faces sometimes
They don’t tell the truth, uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
I’m telling you beware
Beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Jealousy (jealousy)
Misery (misery)
Envy
I tell you, you can’t see behind smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes they don’t tell the truth
Not you Moondoggy, your smiling face is precious & oh soo sexy.
This prayer is simple & sweet…
Cherokee Prayer Blessing
May the Warm Winds of Heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your Mocassins
Make happy tracks
in many snows,
and may the Rainbow
Always touch your shoulder.

Wow!! New Mexico is a fabulous location!!!!! Warm, delicious and soothing all at once. Now why wouldn’t anyone not want to live there? I don’t know, but I would for sure!
Best to everyone…

Love the location in NM for 2010 Dream Home.You all did good .
Being on a ship for many years, I would like to see some of the storage intergrated into a land home. There is so much wasted space that can be used. Hidden book shelves, closets, etc…
When will we get to see the floorplans??
I live so close by it….that I want to win it.
Something new and fresh and we are already used to the climate.
Hoping to win.
The vistas are truly amazing.
This is a perfect dream home and I love that there is land with it. I believe that is what makes a dream home. Do you know if there will be horses aloud in the community? Sounds like it would be perfect property and home for somebody with horses. with all the open space and all. Wouldn’t it be great if a mare motel or barn came with the home and an arena.
I’ve been wanting to move to the SW for about 15 years now. My medical issues really can’t take the cold and humidity of MN anymore. I need a living environment that is safe and a bit less painfree! I’d be the happiest lady on the planet to live in such a wonderful location and home. I’d be secure and living safely for the first time in 20+ years! I could even go outside and just sit and take in the fresh air and view. I can’t recall the last time I was able to do that! I’d also be happy for the man in my life- he’s worked so hard for over 10 years now taking care of the daily work for me at the house and helping me with the things I just can’t do anymore. He, of all people, deserves something back for all the love and devotion he’s shown me because of my being disabled. To stay with a person and care about them in that situation takes a huge heart and alot of love. I want this for him….and me. God willing…
I would hardly ever leave my house if this was mine. I would do my art and take care of my mother and grandmother and recycle. I have a great appreciation for this state as they try very hard to give back to the land and have sustainable homes and recycling is the norm. We have dreamt about a home like this all our lives. I am so happy that someone will live this dream. What a great location. I can’t wait to see the decor and all the eco friendly benefits in the home.
Viva New Mexico!
See you in my dreams.

In this breathtakingly beautiful natures landscape, I’m watching truly a “Dream Coming True. There are miracles being created right before our eyes by romantic – family sheltered – sculptic – artisans. I am compelled to leap for thanks and reach for a rainbow! I love that technology allows me to view excitement from Idaho.
I’m lovin N.M.I think Native American land is the place to be! Peaceful,beautiful,serene!This area of the dreamhome besides the one in Sonoma is my favorite I would LOVE to live in a warm climate year round, believe me I would NOT miss the snow where I live for a minute! But this home is another beauty! Love the views you guy’s at HGTV are the best for making things like this possible! Caryn from Illinois
