it takes more than a full day to give water.  I am maybe about 2/3 of the way.  Since early morning.   Out in the Native Olive water bowl,  the hollow under the tree/bush,  birds came.  I'm not sure what they were,  bronze colored birds,  5 of them,  and they

bathed.

warily checked it all out but going closer and closer and finally,  fluttering down into the small pool of water and Bathing…fluttering,  flashing,  chattering,  flickering up then to flutter their wings and groom their feathers then back down to splash into the pool,  over and over.

    And to me, it just looks like ‘New Mexico’, like the color of the sky. Take it with you for a memory of your life.

    The desert willow blooms like an orchid! WOW…if that was a rhetorical question, I look forward to you answer, but if the chair exhibits signs or sounds…well, that’s the answer :–>

    yes. like orchids. the hummingbirds love.
    i love things that exemplify, HOLD, all of a certain era, space in time of humanity…this aluminum lawn chair that was, when new, thought to be so modern compared to the wooden of before, now is so retro.
    my kids have always found it amusing that i have so many chairs here. Not just IN the house, but all over Out There. Out there, there are 12 and two benches. They are mostly in the bushes. Mostly wooden ones, falling apart. There were others that DID fall apart and just into the earth. Alyssia said its like i have them for ghosts…spirits.

    yes. and it’s very Light weight. We can drag it over by the Goat Forest or even down to the canal or over to that little pool near the Rooster swamp. We can put it INTO those bodies of water. They are shallow enough. i think
