Yesterday, it rained.

Hand of the Archaeologist

Bakers sift. Archaeologists screen.




(...This girl does both. And knows the effing difference.)

Serious Archaeologists do anything to preserve the wood.

(This one comes from Sev saying "do anything to preserve the wood!" as we extracted a beam from a post hole, which made this very Unserious Archaeologist giggle. Though not as much as when a visitor to the site later asked the hilarious question, "Did you get all that wood out of that hole?" ...Yes. Yes we did.)

I am the Prism Wizard!

Just like every cowboy sings a sad sad song.

Once, I lived by the river

I wake up to your simple song with each new morning
You sing me sleepward when the nighttime pulls me down...

I miss you, Hondo

So come and wrap your watery arms around me, river
And I'll forget that I ever loved another
You call me sweeter, hold me tighter, pull me under


And I miss your ice embrace within the desert

You're always changing 
in the same soothing formations

Someday steps will follow words and I'll return.

Well good!

"Oh, won't you meet me where the crazy horse catches your eye
where you can't fit any more dirt on me or more stars in the sky
my heart is full of joy sure as my feet are full of spines
for three short sweet weeks when the old mill I called mine"


--from "Meet Me At The Mill," an original song by a Serious Archaeologist [in training].
