New Home

It's been a trip.

Several of my NY friends have posted how "brave" I'e been to just "move". It hasn't seemed such a big trip for this, at least to me. I suppose it has to do with the many moves I made while in the Air Force. However, I do understand that leap into the unknown we made. That would be a big leap for someone who's never trusted that everthing will turn out given patience.

Today, it finally seemed to me that we are settling in. We're getting the "mess" in the garage organized. We are getting the guest bedroom organised. We are getting the "Yard" cleaned. I'm finally feeling at home.

Most importantly, I feel more in touch with the environment. The huge difference between upstate NY (the Adirondacks) and the southwest are so huge that I still cannot reconcile them. However, rain is rain and it's monsoon season here now (July 30th). This means some humidity, clouds (beautiful of course), and rain, every day.

I'm seeing long views that I don't get other than mountain tops in the Adirondacks. It's a new environment, long views without the work. So, I'm adjusting. I'm working to adjust to the elevation, the heat, the dryness. To learn how to survive here.
