rio_luna626D is for Denver and Dutch Oven. The thick haze is smoke, and it’s turned the sunset and moonrise rather cinematic
The light on my wall at 6am, and moonrise just above the prairie, is pumpkin orange
It’s hot as ball with occasional downpours around dinner time. I really want to go downtown more often but the heat, parking, etc always makes me go Nah.
N is for Neighborhood. My pal K’s new condo is about 20 minutes across Colorado Springs from my house and the drive there is really nice, CS is really pretty and then K took me further west into Old Colorado City and into Manitou Springs and it’s so sooooo nice!! Weird western style motels, former Victorian brothels turned into ice cream shops and art galleries. It’s gorgeous. This is my new home. K is really skilled and finding the fun and locating silver linings, and it shows how much I have been focused on the work and not the joy. I’m so excited to move.
H is for Home. The Orisas have been installed. I have done Servicio for Elegua, and I can move stuff in!! I laid down a nice rug from the thrift in Monument in there. There are boxes in most rooms. I am watering my poor lil pitiful pumpkin plant, but alas I think the hot dry summer and me being there so infrequently, means no pumpkins. Next year though.
I was there offloading some boxes yesterday when I heard Kevin Gates getting blasted from…behind my house. The house right behind me has 2 dogs, black and white, and a redneck neighbor who made free to tell me how best to “keep your women in line”…respectfully of course. Yes he shared a few extremely inappropriate things, all in context of the “weird shit” that was happening with the former residents. It painted a picture of something like the Bagwan Sri Rashnish, weird religious cult / insurance fraud annd tax evasion scam.
