Beautiful. I had a lot of my flowery bushes trimmed today. They grow fast and get out of control in a short period of time here in AZ.

Ancient possibly 3,000-5,000 years old Native American tools found over the years in my small yard. Most likely for grinding corn. One is made of granite. The other has the back scooped out and fits my hand perfectly. Funny, whoever used it would have been left handed like me. This entire area was inhabited by Native Americans. We have salt water at one end of the street and freshwater springs at the other as well as underground fresh water. Also being high above sea level, but with a good view of same would have made this area perfect to watch for enemies. My plans are to see a local curator of a museum soon and see if we can narrow down the tribes and ages of the tools and probably donate them if they are interested. Every so often arrowheads turn up when I am turning the garden over. Mostly ones for small game.
