Deer toes... snow... back to bright light... once again.

Box of deer toes...                                      2013

Wee...   here we go again, this is my "project box" at work, you might remember the box from an earlier post, the deer toes been hanging out on the back deck all winter drying out so to speak... the neighbor dogs took off with some of em', but they left me ten. The white pan is to catch the soil i been sifting for the silt, for a display i want to put together. Have just about completed the "dino fossil box" just have to pack it with excelsior and attach the Plexiglas top and all is good to go. Hope the box with a fossil inside rather then a just a big chunk of stone attracts more attention on the counter top. Folks look up to read the poster but don't look down at the fossil... 

The weather is/was the big deal this past weekend,  then it snowed big time this week, like all day long one day, have not seen a day like that all winter. Looking at the seven day forecast, partly cloudy, sunny and warming up this coming weekend. 

I have two sets of volunteers in the center now so that frees me up for more project time...
deer hoof/toe rattle along with the legs so folks don't have to go catch the deer and hold it down to get a good look... only kidding. The box will also have other animal parts... ya could call it a parts box. Hides, bones, antlers, scat in a jar, a fauna box. Ya know work has got to be fun or why do it... other then feeding the money habit/need that takes care of the other mundane things we have to do in this life. Went to the GEM the other night to see escape from planet earth... what a hoot and an escape from cable TV!
Well all that's left now is back to work and wait for the new storm door handle to arrive.

In a Hebrew proverb, God is said to have made the desert so there'd be a place he could walk in peace.

 " We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." 
"... even in the absence of climate change, even without human contribution of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, mega-droughts happen in the normal course of events. "
" The fertile American High Plains are sitting on top of a desert... The last full-dune episode across the High Plains was six hundred years ago."
We live in an ephemeral landscape.

Field Support Unit... 18 April 2013

I have started and am reading "Apocalyptic Planet" 

by Craig Childs... it's not the hoot that escape form planet earth was at the GEM... but it sure makes more sense then what i hear from my government and big business concerns about climate change...

Childs says: "Deserts are not aberrations. They are one of the quintessential environments of the earth, a quarter of the planet's solid surface covered by them... and are one of the drivers of global climate patterns... As landscapes, they are tricksters, shape-shifters."

Good book so far... if ya want a different slant on things pick it up, a good read and digest and apply it to your own beliefs... remember that we here in Panguitch live in/on one of those deserts.

Well for now that's about all i can put into words... or better yet want too, because with everything going on in this country and the world my personal opinions are best kept close to my faulty heart.

 Thanks for coming to visit me in my part of this great world we all live in...  tomorrow back to my other world of visitor's questions and answers, along with my own... continue to read the scriptures every day... pray, trust, hope, and believe in the Lord, who's brother i am.

Cheers till we meet again.
