somewhere just to the left of the middle

here in Sedona, Arizona
there are lots of junipers
some interesting oaks [i think the one i spotted was Quercus turbinella]
hills that look like painted backdrops on movie lots
and many red stones

the houses look as though they might be adobe
but when you get close enough to tap the walls
they sound hollow. that ain't no mud.

drifting along highway 89a after work the other night
i noticed some radical pruning [ie to ground height]
of the roses in front of the Red Planet Diner

so i liberated some of the leaves

  12. i was told the way to dye with juniper root bark is to
    gather the bark from roots that have been pulled loose, like
    into the air, .... in any arroyo, this happens
