Labor day Trip 07

This years labor day party was a tragic comedy. No one was able to make the trip with me other than my two faithful girls Josie and Squirt. I was a month too early for the Marfa Sonic Youth show, but a nice drive around the SW of Texas and along the Rio Grand,to the left of the pictures is Mexico. Many spiders and vermin seen this goings. A nice looking gray rat took up home in the linen closet making a nice mess for me to find, but upon cleaning up her mess I found her and was able to confront her face to face. It also was a trip of rainbows, lost pots of gold and the first direct work done on the main el hacienda. Formation of the slab began. After 30 loads of 5 gallon buckets full of fill the slab is now level and ready for concrete. The tragic disappearance of Josie one night ended the nights celebration of the days events. Lost and hopeless and many hours of driving around trying to cross paths again, a spiral fossil captured the hot deserts light and burned into my mind and heart. Upon stopping to gathering up the gold, Josie appeared out of the aura limp footed, tail between her legs and nearing collapse in need of water after 12 hours of being alone . Loss was once love again. Speeking of Love, Squirt found her first. Duke of Earl from the boathouse, mated with her every visit to town. One night he some how took a ride in the truck with us without my knowledge to La Kiva's. Puppies anyone? I also had my own smaller version of the burring man. In the pictures is a views of the lighting storm with hen egg and the water corral lit up by the flash. Rain again in the desert. I think that makes the last 5 trips, I was always taught that it does not rain in the dersert, it must be all the galveston hummity I bring with me. Oh the frogs are from Castroville at Nelsons. There were hundreds of them with all the rain they have had there.
