Remember the farm windmill I mentioned a while ago? I was thrilled that the community finally replaced it and went there often just to admire it. About two months ago we noticed that the windmill was gone. At the time we thought it needed repair and would be back up spinning again soon. Everybody here knows how unpredictable and wicked strong the wind can be in Eldorado. I start to think that it’d never be back..
In order not to let the parcel exposed to the heat outside of our door, my companion wanted to wait till he had it before going out to do some planned shopping. He got a message that said it’d be delivered between 1:30 to 3:30pm. Then another message saying between 5:30 to 7:30pm. When it finally was delivered at 7:42pm, it was delivered to a wrong address..
So we wasted the whole day waiting for the parcel and never left the house.
The image was captured shortly before sunset, when I felt I could no longer stay inside although outside temperature was still around 85°F..
If those clouds were speaking, what would they be saying?
We were on our way to town. This particular cloud formation caught our eyes and we immediately pulled over to the shoulder..
It wasn’t there 10 minutes ago when I opened the door to our porch to let the cool air in. Then the warm glowing light of sunset caught my attention. I went out, stunned by the transformation. This is one of the many reasons why I love this Land of Enchantment.
Blame it on jet lag then. Today went by so fast unproductively. I have a hard time remembering anything that I’ve accomplished.
These two days since we came back from Australia have been stressful for no particular reasons. And the unpleasant high temperature is tough for my companion. This afternoon when I went to check our mailbox, I found our chamisa which I planted the year after we move here is dead. Its gentle green has turned into color of yellow dust. I felt sad, exhausted and tied of it all..
We left Brisbane on Sunday, July 19th at around 11 AM and we arrived at San Francisco International Airport on the same day at 7:15 AM. So we arrived before we even left?
Today is the last day of June. Looking back, it has been quite a month. But essentially not much has changed. Someone once told me that in life it’s a good thing that all stays the same. I get the point. However, I also believe that the only constant is change. We all need to be aware of that.
Another day is nearly over. Another journey awaits. Good night, Santa Fe.
We received some rain this afternoon, which was helpful but far from enough. However the colors of the sky were serenely beautiful..
I know, I know, I know… It doesn’t get easier if I keep waiting for the right moment. It was my idea to move here from New York. And It was a decision that stunned most of our friends. What happened last year changed something. On top of that, this country is on an uncertain path and the future looks grim as far as we can see.. I’m torn.. and something is got to happen..
