September 1 . Welcome September! I can't believe it. Didn't 2022 just start about a week ago? This flower is a mini sunflower. We have lots of yellow flowers around here. And, remember, it's still summer for 22 days!

September 3 - Here's my dragon jewelry box. He (or she) likes treasures. And Magic. And I keep a few trinkets inside. I love this. I love dragons. He may be elsewhere on here in a picture and/or a video.

Above and below: September 5 - Interesting plant I just noticed during our walk this morning. From Wikipedia: Krascheninnikovia lanata is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaranthaceae, known by the common name winterfat.

2022 - Pics by me from August and early September. Various shots of the flowering Chamisa plants around here. I use an app called Grid art to make these "collages."

Above and Below: 2022 Sept. 16 . We attended 'The Paseo' nighttime outdoor art installation event in Taos. Presented by The Paseo Project. This is a cool flaming installation. There's also a video of this on Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok.

2022 Sept. 16 - Our one night a year that we stay out till after dark. These umbrellas were open and closed by participants on a bicycle attached by wiring. It was fun! We did not participate but we watched the umbrellas opening and closing. There's also a video of this on Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok.

2022 Sept. 16 - Here are some dragonflies on fire. There is also a video of this on at least Facebook and Instagram.

2022 Sept. 16 - "Face Forward" - Large Scale Participatory Sculpture. A huge human head made out of metal, that was controlled by participants, We never figured out how. There's also a video of this on Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok.

September 20 - We drove to Penasco, NM to have our teeth cleaned at the dentist there. This is us at the beautiful lookout point on the way up there. It's a beautiful drive.

Above and below: September 23 - Foggy morning this morning. We don't get fog often up here at 7400 feet elevation.

Above and below: October 2 - It rained this morning. And now the sun is out after the rain. Well, pretty much.

October 5 - It's raining and cloudy out so we're not using many electronic devices except our phones. I'm hanging out on my bed with Sparky. We're supposed to have some sun tomorrow. This kind of cloudy day doesn't happen very often but when it does we have to shut down most items since our solar panels are not collecting much solar energy.

Above and below: Got this paper doll from my daughter's Etsy shop. So cute! It's great for kids and adults! She did the drawing, of course. So many outfits! Download, print and color with crayons or color pencils! And then cut out for lots of fun! https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheSpindleSisters

Happy Halloween! Me today. This is the only costume I'm doing today.

Not only is today Halloween, it is also the day Bert and I met at a Halloween party in upstate New York in 1976. Here we are today.

September 12 & 30. Memories of warmer weather. I tried to find the name of this plant. It looks like a small corn plant. I think it's a Sorghum bicolor Calflora. Anyway, we'll probably see more next year.

Oct 4 & 7. Also memories of somewhat warmer days. An old car and truck. I like old vehicles. And there's Bert.
