A new day.

We thought it was drying up all over the desert.

.

Not so. We went out one day and collected geodes in one place and a few days later we went to another place and this is what we found.

Up in the high desert it had dried out but down in the lower parts it is still very wet.

Still raining. 3 days now. Good for the flowers I hope. Even with the rain, we haven't had real cold weather.

The last time we went out to the area south of Agulia Phillip looked for more fire opal and I looked for arrowheads. Found 2, both with the tips broken off.

Sunshine was warm and when I had enough of the walking around I sat in a folding chair in the sunshine and read. Phillip came back with a few more chunks of rock with small viens of blue fire opal. Now if he can just find some big enough to cut a big cab.

Blue-birds are still down here. I don't know when they head back up north. The robins haven't came through yet on their way north either. They usually stay for a week or so and strip the berries off the hackberry tree in the front yard before heading north again.
