http://cabochondesignz.blogspot.com/2011/06/making-it-rain.html
BOLD DESIGNER, FREEFORM AND TRADITIONAL CABOCHONS FOR JEWELRY ARTISTS AND COLLECTORS. Monday, June 27, 2011. 1/2 an inch of rain so far this year. You heard me right - 1/2 and inch of rain since January 1. Yes, this is the desert, but we usually do get a few inches of rain in the winter and spring, June is always dry and then the monsoon rains in July and August bring us several inches each month. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO COME! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
