Diane and I have been masking and sleeping in different rooms since she tested positive for covid last week.. We’re getting close to the 5 day boundary. I tested and I’m still negative .. which is nice.. we can now get back to normal-ish !
Just realized we were originally goign to be coming back from New Mexico today.. but changed our plans due to Covid. We missed a night of camping with Max and Becky.. but we did get a bonus weekend !
Dianes gardens re really producing now.. We have lettuce, kale, asil. asparagus, berries.. We start every day with a smoothy.. it’s a great way to get your Kale quaota for the day
I get a new yorker cartoon by email every day or so.. and this one turned up.. I did a little checking on our hot sauce inventory and this was spot on.. Sent it to Max and Becky who are also hot sauce aficionados .
We spent several hours at Fluffy today getting her ready for an upcoming event on July 3rd.. and longer term getting her ready for her next ride out to the desert. I spent some time checking out the fire rig .. there are a few small improvements I want to make for operations and safety. Posting these pics here to remind me what I intend to do
GOt home from NM tonight around midnight.. That was enough time for DIane to go out to check for tomato hornworms. We created a cool way of looking for them. I have a powerful UV (aka blacklight ) flashlights. The hornworm caterpillars fluoresce bright green when the beam hits them ! Fun for us, but bad news for them..
No monsters tonight.. but the house did look spooky. Our grandnephew Mason and his family were staying in the house for a few nights while we were gone. He loves playing with the smart lights.. Kind of a cool look for the house !
We had another quiet day at the casa.. I got out for a run.. and could still feel the thin air.. but it felt great to get some exercise.. I really miss it when I dont get some every day
THis was our last day in Santa Fe.. We’d originally planned one night of camping with Max, Becky and their friends.. but that didn’t sound like a good idea given covid.. no worries though, we’ve had a really nice and peaceful time.. we have a hot tub. which made things pretty relaxing > So relaxing that after 3 minutes of watching the debate, I turned it off.. It wasn’t going to help me relax.
Tonight we opted for another socially distanced dinner. We needed one more dose of Southwestern food. Becky picked up SW food from Atrisco down the road.. it was really delicious.. Wiane and I ate inside, max and becky ate outside of the wide oe double doors
Its been so nice seeign Max and becky.. they make us feel really welcome.. and they are both such interesting and loving people.
