February 6-8 2026 Shoshone, California

 High of 74 and sunny.

Grouted these today. My raven even looks like a raven this time. And for the khadrawy date tree.

I have finally finished making name tag mosaics for the 9 date palm trees . The white thing on top of the pole is my new weather station. I always wonder what speed the wind is blowing and how much rain we get when it rains. Now I will know. I can look up the results on my phone or on my computer. 

Desert gold and phacelia. Brittle bush. On the white trail.

Desert star, desert gold, primrose and phacelia , poppies, mohavae, chicory, and evening primrose. We had a small dinner party at Judy's house. Yummy food and great company. 

I finally finished this. Tried a new technique- made a mobius. It took almost 2 weeks and was a bear. It is made from dyed pine needles, polyester thread, glass beads and I fused the center from murrine I made. There is also a metal ring in there somewhere that I started the mobius on. It is 11 x 9 x 2 1/2 inches. In shade and in sun.

Sunset east and west.
