September 5 - Full moon and sagebrush. I know the actual full moon isn't until tomorrow morning, very early. I won't be up then. But this is when it rose here. It's orange because of the smoke around here.

October 4 - Me at the entryway to one of the cells in the old jail here in Taos, New Mexico.

October 4 - I love dragons! Here are some of mine!

October 4 - Cool, pretty white cloud. That's the extinct volcano and sage brush in front of the cloud and blue sky. The mountain is Cerro de Los Taoses, lovingly called Two Peaks.

November 2 - Almost full moon over the mountains.

October 31 - We saw this on the Taos Plaza for Halloween. It's a pretty cool pirate ship.

November 15 - Interesting oval opening in the clouds. It was better and more round before. It had more blue in the middle. We were taking a walk and didn't get it when it was more perfect. It seems it started over Los Alamos. Aliens? Los Alamos Melt-down?
Nope, it's none of the above. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about these holes in 2021: "A fallstreak hole (also known as a cavum, hole punch cloud, punch hole cloud, skypunch, cloud canal or cloud hole) is a large gap, usually circular or elliptical, that can appear in cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds. Because of their rarity and unusual appearance, fallstreak holes have been mistaken for or attributed to unidentified flying objects.^"

November 23 - Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Lovely sunrise this morning in northern New Mexico.

December 4 - Here are our Christmas, Yule, Holiday, Turn of the Season, Sun Return decorations for 2017 on a shelf. That's it. All done. I don't want to remove the goddess Isis or Bast statues this year. Ha ha... I'll probably hang the Christmas cards we receive too. I'll be mailing ours soon.

December 7 - Our first snow. If you can call it that. It was just a sprinkle see our pile of wood and there's our solar panels. It's supposed to be a high of 31 F today. Brrr... I got a fire going in our wood burning stove.

Me in May, and me today, December 9th. Do I look like I've lost weight? I've lost 35 or 36 pounds since June or July. I weighed the same in June and July as I did in May. The first picture is me in size 18 women's pants. The second is in size 16 women's pants. I hope to keep going to at least size 14. I hope... I hope. I'm just eating less food. I'm hungry all the time! But I feel great!

December 17 - My darling daughter today at the Motor Avenue Farmer's Market in California. Isn't she beautiful!?! She's selling items that she created. I stole this pic from the Spindle Sisters on Instagram: @thespindlesisters. or the spindlesisters.com. For Erica herself go to ericalange.com.

September 18 - Moon in the sky over the mountains looking to the east of us.
