There's crystals in them ther' mountains!

Good evening!! boy i would have been here earlier but like i said before, my husband's computer has issues ALL its own!! like when the right click on the mouse just stops working and then i close out the internet and sometimes it almost resets itself or something, but today, it happened when i closed out the internet AND the folder i was working in! very very strange! and that's just ONE of the little irks this computer holds for me daily!
anyways, i got pretty good photos of the rocks we brought home. like this Dendryte that John found. Dendryte is that ferny look on the rock! Cool, huh?

Those winds are terrible! Don't let the wind sand down those lovely garnets!

Our windows here are actually etched by the relentless wind...they are "fogged" looking, and it's not dirt -- just the millions of tiny scratches!
