A SAD LITTLE PILE OF STONES IN THE DESERT

PHEEBS RACES HER SHADOW ALONG A DUSTY DESERT ROAD THIS MORNING

Pheebs & I did make it out for our desert walk this morning but other than that I really don’t have anything much to write about tonight.…………

UNDER A PALO VERDE TREE ALONGSIDE A DRY WASH I FOUND THIS SAD LITTLE PILE OF STONES IN EARLY MORNS DESERT STILLNESS

GROANER’S CORNER:((  As a Delta Air Lines jet was flying over Arizona on a clear day, the co-pilot was providing his passengers with a running commentary about landmarks over the PA system.  "Coming up on the right, you can see the Meteor Crater, which is a major tourist attraction in northern Arizona. It was formed when a lump of nickel and iron, roughly 150 feet in diameter and weighing 300,000 tons, struck the earth at about 40,000 miles an hour, scattering white-hot debris for miles in every direction. The hole measures nearly a mile across and is 570 feet deep."
From the cabin, a passenger was heard to exclaim, "Wow! It just missed the highway!"

  1. Same around here, short drive and walk followed by some cleaning. Enjoyed the Groaner and the Pheebs pic.

  2. Some days are more exciting than others but they are all good ones when we can be in the southwest.

  5. Four of our pups' ashes are in the desert as well - with wide open spaces and bright blue skies. I see them running in the dirt, chasing their shadows too :-))))
