Hellacious Hail

Oh yeah, we just got through today’s afternoon thunderstorm. Hail today instead of rain. It piled up in the corners of the doorways, wind so strong it blew the green flag off the pole and to who knows where? Probably down to Cordova or Chimayó. It’s gone! & the yellow one looks sad and all by itself so.....Maybe we’ll have to sew some black & white ones? Or red. I like the idea of red. Or put up another and have black, white, and red. Hmmm........ The mural came off all hooks but one! Some additional sort of fastening seems in order there as well as these winds are a normal thing up here.

If not for the UPS man some days we’d have no visitors. Today we did have some deliveies (all the bead stuff  & art from Pennsylvania) so he and I enjoyed a lengthy conversation on art and politics. Later a photographer from LA came through who makes a point to visit Truchas on his way to Durango or France, or in today’s case, France via Durango. He’s been photographing the residents here for over 15 years. He asked us to pose for a portrait and we gladly obliged--then he made his way down the road to see the folks at Hand Artes Gallery.

Looked at a place this morning that was not in bad shape and affordable but so far off the beaten track it would be useless to even think ‘gallery’.....plus it was up in Llano, just outside of Peñasco, not my favorite spot. I prefer Truchas. No word on the place on 77A yet.

Looking forward to houseguests on Monday, our first visit by friends from ‘back home.’ They are bringing their own camping trailer, good thing as they number 6!
