Fall Approaches

It is the First of September. Fall is my favorite time of year. I like cold weather. Here in Oklahoma, the summers are so hot, humid and sticky, it can be unbearable, but we endure. I prefer cold weather. I feel more invigorated and alive. Which brings me to Santa Fe, New Mexico. My wife and I visited Santa Fe last July, and what a glorious place. Nice people, perfect weather year round, some snow in the winter, but just enough to enjoy the beauty. There are no flies, no mosquitoes, no termites. What else do you need? They are also recognized for their fabulous art scene. Fantastic paintings and drawings. Pretty pricey stuff, but it is the kind of art that has you reaching for your credit card thinking, "Yeah, I could pay for that $6,000 painting in just a couple of years...." Then, the credit card is put away, the common sense returns and it's back home to Oklahoma. But, Santa Fe never really leaves your soul.

Thank you for reading.
