Sunset last night and sunset tonight.
Huge excitement in Shoshone today. My sister Judy got her old barely working swamp cooler removed and a new air conditioner installed. Ruud and Torian were enthralled.
I finished this masterpiece. It is 11 x 9 1/2 x 3 1/4 inches. It is made from natural and dyed pine needles. The center is a piece of glass I fused from old glass jewelry I made that did not sell. The beads are made of glass. Grimshaw lake outside of Tecopa.
It was close to 100 degrees here today. Inside the bus in the living room it was 104 degrees inside and 107 outside in the bay underneath. It was 110 degrees in the bedroom and 85 in the water bay. Tomorrow they are putting in a new 30 amp plug for us to plug into so we can run the AC.Woo hoo. This morning I got up early to go on a hike before it got too hot. I hiked from 8-9 and it was too late, it was way too hot and I got heat exhaustion and spent the rest of the day on the couch. Fortunately Robbie installed a 50 amp plug on the house next door and we plugged in and were air conditioned. The high outside was 104 degrees today. With the bus in the sun all day, both AC units running it was able to keep the bus at 85 degrees. The temps are 15 degrees higher than normal right now, supposed to start cooling back to normal later in the week. The trail was lovely this am tho.
The wildflowers are still hanging in, even with the heat. Brittle bush, indigo bush flowers and the bush and pygmy poppies and yellow tack stems. Monkey flowers on the trail.
Yellow brittle bush, red rocks and blue sky. Flowers along the trail.
Flowers and cool mountain to the west. Looking east across the valley with wildflowers.
Wildflowers and cool clouds. Mojave golden poppies, honey mesquite bloom and a field of poppies, yellow tack stem and woolly daisies.
A tete-a-tete in the desert tortoise habitat. A raven nest in the old garage with at least one baby peeking out.
