Hola ~ from "Where Rainbows Wait for Rain" ~ in Big Bend, Texas on the banks of the Rio Grande ~ along the border of Old Mexico

I hope everyone is having a wonderful morning ~ here in the desert country of Big Bend this day is off to a gorgeous start ~ crisp & cool before it warms up to the high nineties later today!  Wherever you might be this morning I wish you a great one! 

And here is the next entry from Peter Koch's 1945 Diary of the Big Bend National Park in Texas (to read this diary from the start please refer to my blog post of September 3, 2009):

Sunday
April 15

Had an invitation from Cal Miller Supt. of Platte National Park - Oklahoma to visit with them, and picture the Park -

Went toward the window and photographed the children on horses and burro.

On way down saw the pair of ant woodpeckers near the nest tree - I believe they have completed the nest.

The nest in cholla is still unoccupied and though the cactus wren cries an alarm every time I get near the place no eggs have been laid that I could find - in any nest -

We still hear the oriole every day - morning and evening seems like he will have his nest above our trailer although just as often he is heard below - the flycatcher is feeding young in the storeroom since last Wednesday - April 11th.

End of this day's diary post
