Took another stroll out around the mountain yesterday morning... this time runnin' the GPS... and... Uh... that fiver or six miles I thought it was... turned out to be a touch over 4... guess it just feels farther... when you've got enough miles on... You! :)
Heidi wanted to look a lil' bit for some more Turquoise that she could maybe work into jewelry somehow... as a pendant... or... whatever...
So... one foot in front of the other... we headed off... and actually did pretty fair... finding some nice lil' bits of stone...

There is quite a bit of "color" around here though... Walking through this grey and brown landscape, the bits just jump out at you... if you look...
Though... some of the "Bits" are a lil' too big for me to bother haulin' back with me... and tell the truth... I'm more 'bout pictures of the countryside than collecting the bits of it...
It's a stark country... scary and bleak to a lot... Guess I lived in it long enough, the desert always feels pretty much like home to me...
But even puss gut Ol' Desert Rat, Busters gotta sit down and take a break once in a while...... and then... with our pockets full of her haul of Turquoise Nugget Treasures...

... as you can see... I'm tap tap tappin' a goodly amount today too! :o) No rest for the wicked... right? But I can't complain... I feel like I've finally got that lil' Murphy bugger on the run...
...and if I don't do anything... really stupid... and a tree don't fall on me... I'll live till I die! :) Shining Times!
Living High... in the Low Desert

Howdy Brian,
I hope you're enjoying all that sunshine, you could send a little of your extra out my way!

Happy trails and keep the shiny side up,

Hey Butch; Actually I did know about 'em. In another life I had a small shop on the ranch... and built some small beading looms for Heidi to sell through the store she was managing at the time...
... the Bead Museum requested one to add into their collection... no idea if they still have it...
That Bead Museum is the only one I know of... and considering Beads continue to feed us it's too bad it's goin' under... The hard times haven't quit yet...
Nice collection of pretty rocks. I'm prone to carry too many myself and have to high grade once in a while.
Too bad the bead museum is closing.
Hi Brian, Was wondering if you have a link to Heidi's Bead Shop posted anywhere on your site?
Sharlotte... Uh... DOH! I'm sure it's around here somewhere... kinda dumb huh? :o) Think I should fix that? :o)
... actually, gonna be adding a lil' section of her Artist Made Jewelry before too long...
For the time being, this is it; http://www.bead-cache.com
