The Point Is Patience

I'm getting ready to hit the hay after a very busy and wonderful weekend. The weather was perfect, the company was lovely (as usual) and I was only off my feet to eat and sleep. I ran some errands, did some gardening (yes, Miss Brown Thumb worked in a garden), and played in a creek. I helped plant corn, squash, zucchini, okra, cucumbers, pumpkins, jalapenos, oodles of varieties of peppers and tomatoes and even some zipper peas. The creek trip was made with my friend who is skilled in finding arrowheads (or "points" as they are called by those in the know). I've gone "creeking" (not a term used by those in the know) on several occasions just happy to go along for the ride. It's a chance to get out of the house, enjoy the outdoors, try something new and spend time with my friend. Well, this weekend...I found a point!! I found it all on my own and man, oh, man was I excited.

I saw a straight line in the creek, turned it over slightly with my poker stick and saw the curved bottom and snatched it out of the water before I could think.

I never expect to find anything on these outings and this was a very pleasant surprise. It's really hard to pick out a certain shape of rock in a pile of rocks under flowing water while the sun is casting a rather strong glare. It's a little broken but I think it's beautiful. In other news, I finished the last Percy Jackson and the Olympians book last week so I'll have to wait impatiently for the next one to be published. I've also started an herb garden of my own. They are in pots on my back patio. I'll post a picture soon before they all die.
