We got snow, and still snowing. I guess spring isn't here yet, even
though I saw some fruit trees blooming here in town. I guess they
won't have fruit this year because it dropped to 19 degrees one day
last week. Phillip said ours were still dormant.

Been busy painting. Working on 2 pictures right now. One of bear
growling at coon who is fishing and one with a prospector. Animal one
almost done.

Keep warm, Love ya'll Granny.

What?

Hey you guys. It's snowing out there.

Brrr!

Can you believe this crap? 21 yesterday morn and 23 this morn. Damn
cool for down here.

Keep warm. Granny

Almost bedtime.

What a day. We had it all. Rain, sleet, hail, snow, then the sun came out.
Never know what to expect next.
I think we are going to have the same tomorrow.

Keep warm.

Love ya'll. Granny

Howdy!

I decided to post a few of Phillips wheapons he made. This one is a
rib set in juniper root with obsidian chips along the edge. Cut your
head off .

We have been trying to stay out of the public places as much as we can
while the flu season is so bad down here. Went into town real early
the other day to get groceries before so many people got there. Too
damn many other people must have had the same idea because it seemed
like there were more people than ever in town. The blasted stores
don't stay open all night like they did in Idaho., or we would shop at
night.

Phillip hurt his back again while out prospecting. Been taking it
easy. We went out arrowhead hunting a few days in a row. Out
yesterday, but Phillip only found 3 real nice points. A lot of broken
ones though. Too much grass where we were parked for me to look even
iff I could get the walker around in it. Was a real grassy year this
year. Looked other years in this area, and hardly any grass. Every
year is different.

I wamt to do some painting today, but going to take a bath first.

Love ya a'll. Granny.

Morning!

We finaly got some much needed rain and snow. Didn't need the cold
though. 23 this AM. As Daddy would have said, " i's as cold as a
well diggers ass in Alaska".

Was nice last Monday when we went out on the desert though. We came
across an arrastra. Used for grinding up gold ore. I wan'ted Phillip
to get a picture of it , and I thought he did, but he was too busy
looking around. We did'nt find where they got their ore, but we will
go back out there to be sure. I'll take a picture myself then.
Jeannine should remember what they look like because she was with me
when we went up to the museum in Prescott, and they had one set up as
a display. There is another one out by Stanton, but it too isn't
complete.

Sunny right now. snow should melt. I'll bet the river is running
where Phillip prospects. Trouble is, he hurt his back up there on
thursday so will be a while before we go up again.

Take care all, love ya'll Granny

Cold.

This was on Wed. We finally got some rain and during the night it
changed to freezing rain. We wanted to go down to the desert where it
was warmer for the day, but the car was covered in ice. Didn't get
out til yesterday. We went down and dug crystals at Date creek since
the ground had got soft with the rain. I dug a few, but can't get the
damn walker up the hill so had to be content to dig down at the
bottom. When I got tired I just sat and enjoyed the sunshine. Phillip
was in shorts as usual, but I did take my sweater off, it was so nice.

Cold again this AM up here on the bench. I doubt if we will head down
to the desert again until Monday. Too many people have the same
ideas. Was only 2 other cars out the other day. If you dig, then the
first thing, people hover over you and no place else. Sometime we can
get a tour out of them but not always. Just pests.

Maybe I'll pait today. Still working on a prospector one.

Take care, love ya'll Granny.
