Back Home at the Pond


Arrived home yesterday about noon. Long two and a half days on the road. The photo illustrates the long, straight highways in NM. If you click on it and enlarge it you'll be able to see the highway actually on the horizon. We traveled in rain much of the way. On Wednesday, the day we left, there were flash flood warnings and water ankle deep on the streets. It REALLY rained. I guess we brought the rain with us - a nice welcome home. Everything looks brown here.-----It's hard to describe the many wonderful things that happened during our month in Santa Fe. It is truly a world apart from Ninety Six - and yet there are people living and working day by day there, too. It is true that it is primarily an artist's mecca, but somehow that brings out the artist in me. There must be some somewhere? There is a strong since of individualism that appeals to me. It seem everyone is doing his or her own thing and yet there is a bonding too. One of the most enjoyable parts is the weather. We were able to be outside comfortably basically all day - except for the very middle of the day when it did seem hot even though dry. Just long enough for lunch and a nap! Then, back out to wander the streets or enjoy the courtyard. Before I end this trip blog, I want to say thank you to each one of you - particularly those who told me they were following it - it is a great inspiration to write when you know someone is reading your words! THANKS. I will keep the writing going from the Pond. But, it probably won't be as much fun to read. We'll see.
