Peeking in...

[Bogertophis]

Ok, I still want to move, though. I wish I could live in the mountains of Albuquerque. I even look at realtor.com and dream which house I would pick. Its beautiful there. I have always had a thing for WIDE OPEN spaces, endless blue skies, and the arid but gorgeous desert mountains. The sky must be gorgeous at night, can you imagine all those stars. Can you imaging driving down endless roads , looking over this gorgeous landscape.

I have never been a fan of wood areas, or wood covered mountains. To dark, to enclosed, to stifling. Like a horror movie. I love wide open, I love dry, I love dry heat. It doesn't have to be extremely hot, but I also def. don't want to go where it gets ice cold and snowing half the year.

So yeah, New Mexico sounds good to me.

These summers here in the south east are just miserable. Esp. for a person that loves to be outdoors. Between this hot heat and bugs, ugh. You can just stand around after doing a bit of work outside and you are absolutely drenched. Sweat just literally rolling down the body while resting in the shade. Its just terrible.

I lived in El Paso , TX for over a year. While the city itself is pretty terrible, I will never forget waking up and looking outside the window at those gorgeous mountains and endless, absolutely endless blue sky. It was like waking up in a beautiful dream. I think I belong in a landscape such as that..

I do miss the wide open spaces of the desert...I could see for miles & miles from my former house in So Cal...the view (also night sky) was awesome. I miss being able to sit out at night in my hammock as the day cools off. Here in the mid-South, even IF it cools off enough the mosquitoes will eat you alive sitting out. Funny you mention New Mexico...I almost moved there instead of here, & sorta wish I had. Still might... I love the rain here & the green but everything grows so darn much, the yard work is endless & it's not how I want to spend my time. I even miss the coyotes howling in the desert nearby.
