Blue sky, sun tea brewing yesterday afternoon. The “walking stick” is dead, dried ocotillo or cholla – the cactus “stalk” after it has died and dried in the sun. The green plant is chaparral which grows in the desert and is used in a tea or to make a tincture. The tea/tincture has antibiotic properties.
As I set the jar of tea to brew in the sun I thought what an interesting tableau everything made. Rose Valley RV Ranch is located on property that was home to the Rosedale Dairy here in Silver City. They used farm artifacts and parts of the barns for decoration as well as for some wind break/privacy fencing around the sites.
But the fences don’t keep snow off the sites! Yep, again…
Snow tea?
