We’ve seen it all in the desert, or so it seems. The other night we had strong winds that
rattled the windows and battered the house all evening and through the night. I
laid in bed listening to all the noises and wondering what was going to
disappear into the desert (chair cushions, barbecue cover, plant pots, etc) and
also what would be broken the next morning.
I was off Saturday so I had to go and get more black shoes
for work. The soles are coming off my
black sneakers. I dearly love them so
will take them to be fixed at the little shoe repair about ten miles away. But I can’t do this now because of winter and
working in the coolers and outside the dairy door, which is freezing even on a
summer day. Those shoes were the only
ones I have that I can get my foot into along with insulated socks. I put the thinking cap on a couple of weeks
ago and decided to use my black gorilla tape and tape the soles on. So far this has worked pretty well, but I’m
still unsure how long I can get away with that, so it was time for new
shoes.
Naturally this is what happened once I got home and took the
shoes out of the bag.

Everything in this house is a cat toy.
What a pretty sunset! Those winds must be something!

Betty,
DeleteWe get the most beautiful sunsets here. The winds are like hurricane force. I remember things like that growing up when the bad storms or hurricanes would come in. I never realized the desert can experience the same thing.

Beautiful sunset photos and Raven is a cutie too.
ReplyDeletepilch,
DeleteWe're blessed to see such beautiful sunsets here.
As far as Raven goes, thanks, and he's a cutie and knows it. That cat purrs loudly all the time. I'm so lucky I adopted him. I'm sure he feels the same way.

Beautiful sky.
ReplyDeleteI assume you're buying shoes that are big enough for insulated socks. Perhaps the next pair of shoes will be better than the last.
Liz,
DeleteThanks. That sky always amazes me and is so pretty to look at.
Yes, I had to get a size up on the shoes so insulated socks would fit in them. That's a must for work here in the winter. I think they'll work out fine.
