Winter is coming!


Had to go to Walmart today. I effing hate Walmart, but the list was too long. On the way there, sad to see that the sumac is already turning red. Winter is coming... (Game of Thrones Super-fan here)
It's been a cool, wet summer here, really sucked. But it's still too hot and buggy to go home. What to do, what to do!

Starting to make the lists: what to pack, what to buy in Tucson (aware that the last 5 hours we'll have provisions stacked under our feet and all around us.)

Am bittersweet at what I'm leaving and what awaits me in Kino Bay.

What awaits me? Ah, SO much!

Sunrises, sunsets. Have neither here, kind of in a forest.

The Halloween party, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners en masse. Good produce.
The smell (sea, desert). My dog not having to be leashed...

My roof.

My ATV and the beach.

Seafood
Steamed clams I gathered from the sandbars at low tide.


Fridays at Panchos.

My workshop! (Didn't have room in the car to bring any supplies to Minnesota.)

I don't mean to diss the men in Kino, but so many have died, it's quite sad now. I DO look forward to seeing these faces!

And what am I leaving in Minnesota? Unlimited bandwidth and Netflix. Pizza and Chinese food delivery. Good ice cream. Delis. And THESE faces!

We do have tons of other family here, but didn't get to see much of them. Busy people, nobody's fault. Caprice and Don, no good photos. Oliver and Elliot.

Will miss them all SO much! MIGHT fly back for Christmas...
