Sunday R & R

How's your weekend going?
The weather is changing fast, winter is almost here. The winds have kicked up and the temps are dropping just in time for the yearly Balloon Fest.  This year it will run from October 6-14, 2018. *Hit the link to read more about it.

The mass take-off in the morning is defo something to see. Guess what I did instead?

#TrueStory

Turns out Balloon Fest here is a lot like Mardi Gras in NOLA, all the locals leave and let the tourist run wild! One of my native friends told me it's not safe to drive, as all the tourist are looking up watching the balloons and not paying attention to the traffic. She has gone to Vegas for the weekend to escape.  #VegasIsAlwaysAGoodIdea

I did manage to get out of bed today and go for a walk. Spotted this lovely morning glory, blooming like no ones business while I was out. The color was so intense and vibrant my silly iPhone did not catch it, but you get the idea. I always marvel at what thrives in the desert.

The wind is howling tonight.

It's a lot better than it sounds, trust me.

It could be time to unpack the winter clothes.

Although I'm more excited about buying new clothes since I dropped more weight! 
Either way it is time to do some closet cleaning and make room for new leggings and fuzzy sweaters. I was looking around yesterday, in two years we have filled this house! It doesn't feel  empty anymore. Funny how that happens, isn't it? You grab a few things and then a few more and before you know it, a 5 bedroom house is full! 

If you have been following me awhile you know I dislike clutter and too much stuff. I'm not a minimalist, but I also don't like the general disarray that too much stuff can cause. So I may spend this month editing both my summer and winter wardrobe and boxing up stuff to donate.

Meanwhile I went outside to pick the last of the tomatoes and this happened....

The sunsets are always amazing here in central New Mexico!

Hope you have an amazing week~
