Thursday 5/21  Petroglyphs are rock carvings (rock paintings are called pictographs) made by pecking directly on the rock surface using a stone chisel and a hammerstone. When the desert varnish (or patina) on the surface of the rock was chipped off, the lighter rock underneath was exposed, creating the petroglyph. Archaeologists have estimated there may be over 25,000 petroglyph images along the 17 miles of escarpment within the monument boundary. It is estimated 90% of the monument's petroglyphs were created by the ancestors of today's Pueblo people. Puebloans have lived in the Rio Grande Valley since before 500 A.D., but a population increase around 1300 A.D. resulted in numerous new settlements. It is believed that the majority of the petroglyphs were carved from about 1300 through the late 1680s. ACTIVITY Find a rock, Try to make a lasting image on it with simple/rudimentary tools. How will you go about doing this? What are the steps in your process, be c...

As a family we usually go to a sunrise service at a local tree farm where my family lives. I can only remember a handful of years in my life that I haven't gone to this.

We tested FaceTime outside with my parents the day before while I was working in the garden, continuing to plant as I feel we need the food security of seeds pushing up through dirt in containers and in the ground we have available to us.
