Number five is the charm....

 3:59 pm - Saturday - December 23rd - GNHS - 64° F, humidity 69%, wind 2 mph out of the east....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 64° F, which has been realized.  On this date in 2018 TLE and I were winging our way home from Nashville to see our kids for Christmas......↴


Friday was the 5th day since I aggravated my knee injury, and I was determined not to spend all day inside for a change, but to take time to walk around outside and see if the stiffness in my knee would begin to lessen.  I would go outside at least once an hour to do just that, and it worked.  By the end of the day, which included another hot tub soak, it was much better.  I was so happy I actually jumped for joy....TLE did not find that very amusing.  She can be a stern nurse.

The forecast rain never materialized, although it smelled like rain many times throughout the day.  We heard it rained quite hard over at Ocotillo Wells (west side of the Salton Sea), but we never got a drop at GNHS.  In spite of the heavy cloud cover all day we got a beautiful sunset, and even a little light on the Chocolate Mountains....


....the sunset began modestly.....



....but slowly evolved into one of our more beautiful sunsets this winter....



....it went on for almost an hour....those are the sunsets I love!

Thanks for stopping by!
