Breakfast with Guildenstern can be quite an adventure as he sprawled out on the table and pushed our coffee cups to the edge, leaving them on the eve of destruction; then he laid on Laurie’s sketchpad while she was drawing the Sandias. Between trying to push our coffee cups to their death, and obstructing art, he did manage to get in some cute poses.
I love the dramatic skies we get this time of year.
Our first sunflower of the season is a little sad from residual hail damage.
Grandma was documenting the paintings at the art show. She and her grandkids were really cute taking photos of the art. Another artist passed the time playing games on a handheld device.
This is the interior of one of the old buildings downtown that has been vacant for years. It would make a great studio or dance space.
I dropped my car off the get the tires replaced at the Downtown Goodyear garage, and passed by the Anasazi Building on my walk back to the office. They are making progress on it as you can see from the first photo taken yesterday and the second photo taken in May of last year. The Sandias had waves of clouds crashing over them this morning. I took the panorama across from the Balloon Museum and Laurie took the last photo from our property about the same time.
I took a short walk along Zuni this afternoon and got photos interesting windows along the way. We stopped by Tristan’s on the way home for the art show to check on the cats and water the plants and ended up in the middle of a major thunderstorm. Lighting knocked out the power, and buckets of water falling from the clouds flooded the streets. All the traffic lights north of Montaño were out on Coors Road, and visibility was almost zero at times making the six-way stop with the turns lanes at Paseo Del Norte and Coors tricky to negotiate with the traffic lights out. As we drove into Corrales the rain let up and we noticed the power was on at the Frontier Mart. By the time we got home, not a drop of rain had fallen, but at least we had power. The rain finally passed over our house, but it was mild compared to what we drove through from Tristan’s to Corrales in.
The art show at 510 San Pedro SE, Albuquerque, NM is still on until 6:00 pm. The second photo is a 360 panorama of the space at the end of the day when everyone was winding down. Laurie has water colors and photos in the show and I have some of my photos in the show as well. The various styles of art is interesting and each artist has an interesting life story.
How many workers does it take to build success and plant a tree? Don’t forget to pray over your chicharrones.
Guildenstern was in the middle of his kitty workout when when I went out to the sunroom the other morning — his cat-like routine on the treadmill doesn’t burn many calories, but he finds it to be very satisfying.
Tristan and David are in Madrid, Spain for a couple of weeks. You can follow their adventures at Margarine is Murder.
