How tired I am!


We took some clients out today.  Went up to Williamson valley for some of the fine grain quartzite.  They wanted some of the green stuff that looks just like imperial jade when carved.  One of the couples had bought a letter opener Phillip had made and another couple wanted to get some to send overseas to get carved into a dragon or something.  The guys tagged along behind Phillip and I kept the 2 gals company while searching lower on the ridge.  One gal had a bucket and was picking up the chips the Indians had left.  I did find 2 broken arrowheads even though we have searched the area many times before.  One of the gals found a nice piece of quartzite that was pink, green and white.  Soft pastel colors and the size of a cantaloupe.  Real nice.  She also had a bout a half a bucket of chips.  In the small tumbler she has it will take her years to get them all tumbled.  Anyway she had a good time. When the guys got back and stowed their finds they were hot to go home.  Phillip and I stayed to look for arrowheads in another spot where we haven't taken anyone else. Phillip found a tiny bird point and I found zilch.
I did find a wild allysum (sic) blooming. There were some other tiny pink flowers, don't know what and some little daisy like flowers as well.  Can spring be far behind?
