Happy Halloween!

Carving pumpkins, making dinner (orange roughy & broccoli), answering the door to trick or treaters wore me out. I wouldn't have it any other way. 

Tracking

I've been laid low; up only to bathroom & to eat since Thursday's meeting with Dr Decker in Audiology.

First there was an unexpected attack of claustrophobia when we entered the new parking garage. Its low ceiling triggered me, a reaction that required a faster response than was easily executed.

Back outside, we parked in a handicapped space in front of the family practice building. It was a long walk over to the hospital...and back.

Now, with Kristen down with covid, I wonder how much my concern for her is contributing to the almost immediate rise of angina after eating. I had a bagel w butter and a couple of swallows of milk this morning and within 15 minutes had to take 2 nitroglycerin tabs followed by 1/2 of a mononitrate. That is, of course better than having to resort to addtl meds, but it's a disconcerting development, esp since it was a repeat from yesterday evening. Often in the past, things have resolved after a night's sleep.

Fall

The mesquite tree across the way signals the seasons.

Embudito Canyon

There's a parking lot and good trails.

10th Anniversary

It was October of 2016. We decided the 3rd was the date, but things got confused at the florist's in Española and the bouquet didn't get delivered until today.

I have to give a nod of acknowledgement to her legal husband of 30+ years; he has supported our relationship.

Fairview Flowers in Española did the arrangement and delivered them to Ghost Ranch.

Sunrise

The Sandia Mountains act as a seasonal sundial. I track where the sun comes up each day, week or month.

I took down the tent. It took all i had to get the stuff out of it. I still have to find a place to store it. Our 1100 sq ft bungalow is already brim-full.

Academy Hills Park Cottonwood

 It stands by itself in the middle of a lengthy sward. There're often practitioners of diverse gyrational persuasions performing near its base.

Its leaves shimmer in the light.
