We arrived rather late in Palm Springs this afternoon. Haven’t really had enough time to rest, we already needed to be on our way to meet up with a friend for dinner.
Now we’re back in our hotel room. The whole day has gone by and I didn’t capture any photos during today’s trip. I grabbed the camera and documented what’s out there through the window. I saw my own reflection and the question came to mind: what am I doing all this for?
This is our second time being in Las Vegas. Quite frankly it is one city that didn’t feel quite “connected” with us and we never planned to return after the first visit. While I do enjoy the flashing, blinding neon lights, its hyper materialistic atmosphere makes me uneasy and feel like an outsider.
We are just passing by, and one night in Sin City is quite enough..
While driving on the U.S. Highway 160, we passed by these magnificent sandstone formations in Kayenta. We had to make a U-turn to go back to the site and parked in a safe area in order to capture some images. We lingered over there for almost half an hour before we continued our journey.
Mother Nature is truly the greatest architect..
Almost every time we drove through Chama, I would take a picture or two of this site. The first time we passed by and spotted this place was before we even moved to New Mexico. You wouldn’t miss it because it has a trailer-size sign that says MADE IN CHAMA and in slightly smaller font NOT IN CHINA right below.
Spotted this on today’s walk in Santa Fe. BEK1ND. Be Kind. Yes, I certainly can relate..
The weather is changing fast now. I noticed on the weather forecast that our temperatures might drop below 32°F this coming weekend. So after my morning run, I took the last outdoor shower of this year. It was cold, as it supposed to be, but I felt good.
In the back of my mind I was thinking that I’m going to miss taking cold showers al aire libre..
Our future may be uncertain, but it also fills with endless possibilities. Nobody knows what tomorrow brings. As long as we have each other, we will face whatever comes our way together..
My companion dumped the washed white laundry on the bed in the guest room this morning. The light and shadows caught my eye.
Today we pretty much did everything we usually do on a typical Sunday. One thing out of routine was that we spent about half an hour looking through a few of the containers in the garage. I came across a black leather jacket which I wore to the SVA Mentor Show opening reception more than 20 years ago. Upon realizing that was the last time I ever used it, it went straight to the box for donation.
Our decluttering mission continues..
Today has been quite a busy day. We gathered and gave away even more books this morning. My companion’s enthusiasm surprises me. Perhaps he has been ready for the change long before he realized himself.
I spent some time in our garden this afternoon trimming trees and cleaning up here and there. All the bird feeders were filled with fresh bird food and I already heard some birds singing. After all was done, I burned an incense and sat on an Adirondack chair. As I looked around, I felt content and happy. Oh how I have loved this place..
