Magical oasis day!

Even though I killed myself pumping water from the upper dirt tank to the lower, it was awesome to see all the tanks brimful. After spending the morning pumping and pulling goatheads, I sat by the dragonfly pond and watched odes in between gassing up the pump. And with little rainfall the last few years, it was great to have odes to watch. 

A couple of spreadwings intrigued me. Not sure what they are. I think they may both be California Spreadwings. Wish I could have gotten closer shots. If I had had more time to sit patiently, but so much catching up to do. Today was the first day I felt comfortable leaving Hugh home alone. (He did fine.)
