The Sunlight broke through the clouds for a brief moment this morning. That was pretty much the most we’ve had for today. It’s been raining on and off since last night and the forecast for the next few days is not promising, either. Living here in Santa Fe, we always said that we needed rain. But these long, dreary, cloudy days are undermining the will to remain optimistic for the future..
The weather in the past few days has been unstable. The sky is often covered with thick, gray clouds. Without the sun, it’s getting chilly sitting on the porch sometimes. I captured this image of the lonely rocking chair out there. Suddenly it hit me that the days of sitting out on the porch are numbered..
Today is the last Sunday of September. We came back from our trip to Portugal four days ago and we managed jet lag quite well so far. I did feel the thin air while I was out running this morning. It seems that’s one thing I always have to re-adjust every time we return from a long overseas trip. And somehow it feels like it’s only getting more and more difficult..
Weather has been unstable since we got back from our trip. Couldn’t work in the garden as originally planned, I had plenty of time staring at the computer trying to correct a hotel bill which we were overcharged for our stay. Being in different time zones and the difference in languages, it all didn’t make it easy to solve the problem..
We are grateful that all is well at home. It seems that we have received quite some moisture while we were away. And the temperature has drastically dropped..
I woke up earlier than my companion this morning. Opened the family room window, I saw the gentle morning light colored the clouds so serenely..
Good morning with love, from Eldorado.
It doesn’t ease my mind knowing that I am not alone to feel like this. There’s too much distraction and it’s too easy to lose focus. How do we find our way back collectively? What I fear is whatever damage that’s been made could never be repaired completely, and the process would seem to be another never ending torment..
These days, living in a world like this, it’s getting increasingly difficult to do the right thing..
I’m a bit tired today..
(To be continued..)
Three days ago I found our burro fell flat on the ground after the sudden rain. I straightened it up as soon as the rain stopped, but I kept wondering how that happened. The burro is quite heavy after all.
Our previous neighbors gifted this burro to us when they decided to move. It’s been with us for more than a year now. We truly enjoy its company. All the memories and history seem to be in this burro’s eyes, and sometimes they bring sadness into my mind..
On this first day of September, I went out for a run in the morning. I didn’t go to Cerro Alto Trailhead as I planned to. My companion thought that the trail condition could be messy due to yesterday’s surprise downpour. I understood he meant well and didn’t insist.
To mark a new beginning of this month, I deleted my main Pixelfed account permanently. It was only a matter of time. Plus I no longer see the point of having it anymore. So, adiós Pixelfed.
