  • Our Land of Enchantment

    Our Land of Enchantment

    This is one of the two favorite spots of ours to observe clouds and sunsets. This one is at the end of Ave Vista Grande, where we have to make a left turn in order to get home.

    We used to frequent these two spots before sunset after we moved here and even more often during the pandemic. Looking back, it was such an uncertain time from various perspectives. But we always found somewhat a sense of peace when we parked our car there and watched the sun slowly disappear behind the mountains. We live in the Land of Enchantment, and that feeling confirms our decision. We are exactly we are supposed to be at this moment.

  • Another Moody Monday

    Another Moody Monday

    Can’t pinpoint what it was, but today started out quite positively and now I’m feeling a bit in a funk. I was in good spirit, did my Español lesson religiously after breakfast, then sat on the porch reading a book while watching incense burn. At that moment all felt “right”, as if this was all I ever wanted..

    It’s yet another hot summer day that the temperature reached low 90°F. Towards afternoon, clouds got thicker and the sun disappeared. We came back home from town and I saw the currently flowering agave. It’s beautiful, and at the same time it dampened my mood. I brought my camera and captured this image..

  • Impermanence 無常

    Impermanence 無常

    Today a friend whom we haven’t heard from for almost two years sent me a long email. It once again reminded me how impermanent everything is. At one point I was ready to let go of this friendship since it felt like a one way effort.

    A missing card in the mail. That was the cause of a whole chain of doubts. Received his message this morning certainly made my day. All the memories came rushing back into my head..

  • The Disappearance of the Farm Windmill

    The Disappearance of the Farm Windmill

    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..

  • A Rather Quiet Day.

    A Rather Quiet Day.

    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..

    If Those Clouds Were Speaking..

    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..

  • Enchanting Colors of Santa Fe Sunset

    Enchanting Colors of Santa Fe Sunset

    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.

  • Another Day Uninspired

    Another Day Uninspired

    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..

  • Time Traveling?

    Time Traveling?

    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?

  • Last Day of June

    Last Day of June

    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.
