There are some enormous pungent peaches on my dining room table. Their autumny smell shoots through my senses and clings to happy memories in my brain. And have you tried chocolate milk and fresh raspberries? That is a nice treat.
We’re almost finished with the first term of school. We enjoy a one-week break in autumn, winter, and spring. I’m going over ideas for autumn break activities. October is the perfect time to be outside. We have an amazing outdoor air and space museum, mountains, and some beautiful missions nearby. I’m thinking that a nice walk near Tumacacori or Tubac sounds good. Maybe we’ll take our sketch books and sit at the Sonoran Desert Museum for a day.
My doctor’s office recorded my age as 35 this week. Is it a sign of senility that hearing my age was confusing/surprising to me? I really wasn’t sure that it was true. But I guess it is. In fact, I’m almost 36.
Daniel’s birthday is next week. He has a new friend and this makes me happy.
What am I looking at in this picture?
A Desert Tortoise.
