Sunday Hike

We hiked along the stream bed this afternoon, starting at the foot of our hill and ending at our neighbors' home. Along the way we encountered so many beautiful erosion and rock formations.  Aside from our own silt-stone waterfall, we also walked through a niche called "smugglers hideout" (or something similar) where gigantic black rock spontaneously erupted from the limestone and gravel. One huge black boulder was suspended over a narrow chasm through which water flows.

Julie and Richard own a beautiful piece of historic property with rock wall paintings, centuries-old adobe, magnificent rock formations, and the biggest cottonwood tree I've ever seen (desert or temperate).

Those two really have an amazing homestead, and the blessing of two springs that flow year-round, which allows them to grow an amazing garden oasis.

Now that we're back at home the wind is starting to pick up and thunder
& lightning are moving in.   Though it's still bright and sunny, the
rain can't be too far behind.  Let's hope windy makes lots of
electricity during the storm!
