To be honest, I am feeling a bit defeated. Unemployment benefits end in five weeks, the landscape season is winding down, my FB page for the business is not generating work yet, apparently there is an Obamacare window that has ended meaning no coverage this year and no word on the postal job. Sigh...

Still, I try to do a few positive things each day and hopefully good changes are almost here.

 

[Foxfyre]

That's gross.

Just be glad you weren't born in the 1800s, crossing the Great American Desert............

This I can see just fine.

Can you see it now?

Yes, and how interesting.

Neighbor came by a few hours ago and said at noon today, a bear was walking along the roadway in front of our houses, just meandering along. Said it looked about a year old and since bears keep their cubs with them at least 2 years, that means mama was not too far away. Noon time. Bear. House. Not a good mix. What if I was walking over to get Casey and came face to face with it? Still, no complaints cuz this is their turf we have to share with them. I'll just be very LOUD and NOISY walking now

And I wish I would have seen it pass by. From a distance of course. :

I went googling. Found this pic of bears someone 3 blocks over took recently.

Even loud and noisy isn't all that helpful if you encounter a mama with cubs. Just be really aware and careful.

When we lived up on the mountain, we would at times find 10-inch bear tracks just off our front deck. Gives you pause for thought.

And good morning all. A beautiful windless sunny day in New Mexico--definitely fall is in the air in the early mornings now and the days are mostly skies so blue they almost hurt your eyes to look at them with occasional fluffy white clouds for artistic effect. The aspens are turning on the mountain and the chamisa is blooming and slowly the color is coming into the cottonwoods, oak, and maples etc. here in town. I love, love, love fall in New Mexico. By far my favorite season.

We will spend part of my birthday today taking Aunt Betty to the cemetery to decorate my Uncle Ed's grave--yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of his passing. And then we will take her to lunch I think at the Black Angus today. All labors of love.

Thank you. You don't know how accurate that is. When we reach a certain age, we have to notify the fire department before we can light the birthday cake.

I am tired. Those little children are energy vampires. Beginning our second full week of school, and they are learning, but it takes time.
