Springtime in November
Slow day of getting ready to leave. So much easier to get up and go from my new desert life. Did a load of laundry this morning then cleaned up the grounds from my solar oven construction. Amazing how much debris forms from building something - even something small. Called my buddy who owns the mini storage in Austin (where my last bit of stuff is still hiding) to tell him a check is in the mail for November. We joked about how I figured out the whole mini storage scam - provide a place for people to put the stuff that they don't want to deal with, and you make a fortune providing the service for that very reason. Made arrangements for a visiting Sheriff friend of mine to run the show here and shoot intruders while I'm gone. Finished off the afternoon with 16 shots from my hand cannon. At 60 feet I was about 50% on target today. Best shot was the first one when I nailed a 8.5oz can. I have found target practice much more rewarding if the cans are filled with sand - that way they jump off the fence

Hi again, still reading through your archives, found you via Boing Boing and commented the other day.
ReplyDeleteI love that picture. It shows what life in the desert is like so perfectly - tiny beauties like that plant, springing up wherever they can find the slightest advantage.
Would you be willing to grant me permission to use that picture on a set of notecards made for personal use only (not for sale) using my Cafepress account? I have done this with my own pictures of interesting plants I find where I live, but it would be wonderful to have a set with a desert flower.
