We are in between storms here too. It’s been raining and blowing like heck for a couple days and more to come. Have the generator all ready to go in case the power goes out. But this is the very stuff we were praying for back in August and September when it was so crispy dry.

I’m hoping for kind of a lazy day hopefully. Just want to spend time imagining Maggie on her birthday in Santiago. What a great scene. So happy for her at the moment and looking forward to her reflections coming up in the future.

OK, here comes the next storm, rain coming down. November is the storm month here and here we are the first of November. It is sort of like summer holds on longer than is natural and we all cheer it on but then when it can’t hold on any longer the winter force snaps back with a vengeance. That’s what November seems like to me.

Have a walk this afternoon and we are starting earlier because of the darkness. The afternoon walks we are moving from a 1600 to 1530 start for three months. I don’t know maybe we will have to back it up another half hour in December. All my walks the first time we hiked “across Spain” were in the morning and we never had this problem.

Probably have to walk the alternative trail today. The regular trail I call the “Mary” trail and it goes through the woods. But when it is stormy we stay out of there. Falling limbs are called widowmakers around here. So we have the “Joseph” trail that is safely all out in the open.

OK, we will be safely out of the storm and Maggie will safely be in Santiago. Sounds good to me. Later, love, Felipe.
