Today has been a productive day. We sorted out more books and left them at La Tienda where residents in the area can pick up whatever they wish. While we were gathering the books to give away, I realized how difficult it could be to let go of “stuff”. These are material possessions. They should not be worthy of occupying our minds.
During a break, I had a moment to step out of the house and enjoy our Apache Plume in Autumn..

On the way home from our road trip two days ago, I noticed that the farm windmill on Avenida Casa Del Oro is back. However its tail is folded. I suppose it is to prevent it from spinning. Why have the windmill repaired and installed though?

Earlier today when my companion was at his physical therapy, I strolled around the neighborhood as I usually do. This shelf in brilliant blue color was abandoned near a dumpster. Red, green and blue (and yellow). All the primary colors are there!

Today we concluded our 2026 road trip. We don’t do it every year. This is only the second time we went on a road trip in the U.S. At this particular moment, I’m not sure if we would ever do it again. We certainly enjoyed every second we spent with our friends, but the driving, the traffic and people’s reckless behavior dampened the whole experience..
While I’m composing today’s One Photo A Day, a extremely loud thunder almost startled me. It’s not a total shock since I had been anticipating that when I captured today’s image.

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..

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..
