Turned out the Gordon's Concert was on Pajarito Mountain. I went out on the Mesa Trail last night a little past 8pm and was treated to a slow to develop but beautiful sunset. I wish I could adequately describe it. It was a peaceful sunset not a sky-filling, blaring, trumpeting one but one with strips of elongated cloud-rolls that turned a tender pink above the silhouette of the Jemez Mountains west of Los Alamos. I wanted someone there with me to admire it. Isn't it weird about humans - we like our privacy and solitude and yet at moments like last night's mellow sunset, we want to share it with someone?
I did my monkey bar business at the East Park playground plus walked around the raised, wood perimeter of the playground for my balance
The weather up on Pajarito looked perfect and it made me wish that spouse and I had driven up there not so much for the concert but to enjoy the sunset.
Spouse really enjoyed the BESC hiking group. We'll try to go on his Friday's off. I may go next Friday as Mary says it will be to the East Fork Trail. She was trying to tell me about an upcoming August hike but then said she'd call me about it. I'll ask her next Friday.
I had no idea that Dorothy would fire off that email to Doris and quote my email in it. I really only wanted to know for my own information because I so often forget names of plants that Dorothy tells me and just figured this was another one I had messed up. I believe Doris that it's called Cosmos but I wanted to find online its other common names but couldn't verify the Mountain White Ragweed one so I asked Dorothy.
