Alpine glow from the sunset and a long string of mountains over greening pastures provides the background for an orange tractor bucket full of irrigation hoses.
With a view like this, it’s hard to complain about the work of getting the irrigation set up in the pasture.

We are about a month late on snow here in the High Desert. So far so good with Gemma’s special grass patch. I was hoping for at least one flurry before the dogs and horses and I head south for a spell.

As the the temperature and the leaves drop, I find great comfort in remembering the long days and the long light of summer.

A rather large male tarantula of some variety is crawling down a brick wall. The yard is sandy. This dude is out lookin for a mate, she might eat or otherwise kill him when she's done with him. Hahaha. Anyway this guy is maybe 5 inches with his legs, his body is fat and hairy, he is a weird shade of brownish black and grey. He was cruising, impressive how fast he went. I usually see them out crossing streets, we always stop and make sure they dont get hit. They mean no harm, when we had pups my husband would relocate them to keep them safe. More on the next image.
A black and brown tarantula in our back yard in Rio Rancho New Mexico. He is maybe 5 inches toe to toe. Here he finally stopped for a rest or to zero in on a smell to find her. The female tarantulas can live to be 25 or so I think, she typically stays in her burrow. He looks mostly black and brownish tan,he has fuzzy hair on most of his body and legs. He stays burrowed until he is mature and ready to mate. Then he searches for her by smells that she sends out calling him to her. So thats what I know about tarantulas, it isnt much My fear now is I dont know where he went, last time we had one in the back yard the poor dude looked ill.
So this just happened. I'm on the phone with my old man and I see this huge fella crawl over our back wall and down into our yard. He is out looking for a girlfriend, 'tis the season.

The best part of Jeeping in the mountains and immersing yourself in the fall colors is there is a certain orange you forget all about!!

A view of Mt San Jacinto with low clouds around the peak.

We had a light rain last night, and this morning was soaked in petrichor and magic, as I took my walk.
I also had a lovely text message exchange with a beautiful human, and honestly, if this is my life now, I accept it with open arms.
