Small Treasures 5

Went scrabble-scrambling in the desert today, investigating caves and rim rocks and getting into rather unwise situations. The moral is that two old ladies and their dogs should stay on the trail. We did have a nice quiet meditation except I kept worrying that the dogs would run off which interrupted my quest for perfect emptiness.
I found this piece of wood that I think was part of a two by four, and this heart shaped piece is where a couple of knots were. When we returned to civilization I tried out my Christmas present air card at a coffee house and it worked! I would have felt really cool and chic except I was powdered with dust. Also J kept singing along to the music they were playing. She has what you might call a strong contralto pretty nice voice. They brought us free dessert. We were talking about raising children and one parent families etc and they played 'Teach Your Children Well' and that really set her off! Beautiful strange clouds in the sky today.
