Judy has been having trouble the last five years, occasionally looking in the mirror and catching glimpses of her mother. She doesn’t really want to look in the mirror and see her mother. It just got worse. She looked in the mirror and saw her grandmother.
Sierra vista
The bottom fell out of our weather today. It has been so dry here in the desert, and windy the last couple days, I’ve been hoping for rain to clear things up. We got it, rainy and cold. We’re down to 46 degrees. The good news for us is, we’re still 50 degrees warmer than Becky is at her house in Erie, Colorado right now. Saw a new bird, the black chinned sparrow. Completely different from the black throated sparrow. Didn’t get a picture, so here is one from the internet.
Pets
The cat exploded in his sleep last night. No one had gone to bed yet. Sitting around in the evening, email on the computer, television going, cat asleep in the chair next to me. I didn’t poke him with a stick. No loud noises. His alarm could only have been internally generated. A momentary night terror perhaps. The result was an immediate explosion from a quietly sleeping cat, to an upright alert frightened animal with wild eyes and claws fully engaged. He never left the chair, just rearranged himself and it. Left some serious claw marks in the leather. Glad he wasn’t in my lap.
Sierra Vista
Moved to Sierra Vista. Looking for a place to spend a few days. The weather is good. The wind seems to have moved on.
Benson
A three-state day. That’s more like it. Texas, New Mexico, Arizona. A headwind day. Dust storms at Willcox. Kept going. Stopped at Benson for the night. Wind is still high here, but not so much dust in the air.
