>The Wind

>We fall asleep to the wind and we wake to the wind. Clothes can dry on the line in an hour if it isn’t raining. Things I’ve noticed: there are no planes overhead–ever. There are no insect noises like katydid and cricket. The landscape is redolent with orange, magenta, violet, and yellow. Sheep are more abundant than people here. They graze on the side of roadways, in yards, on rocky overlooks. It is challenging to drive the narrow roads. Today I took a coastal walk by Dog Bay in Roundstone. I will post those photos when I can–it was spectacular. It was one of the best days weather-wise. It tends to be very cold and rainy most days–and even today, there was a drenching shower for a short time.
