Time Passes

It's been four years now since we moved to Santa Fe. We closed on this house four years ago this week, and much has happened in the world and with our families since then.

Some things were big -- a new grandbaby, the deaths of two former neighbors, a friend's loss of his son. Politics got weirder. The climate got more difficult. News got alarming. Masks and vaccines and new daily habits invaded our lives. My gardens here stopped failing so spectacularly and now fail in more rewarding ways.

But mostly these past four years have just been Jim and me getting older, and doing it in a place we have grown to love. We like it here. 

We'll stay some more years I think, and grow even older.
