It's DARK outside!!!!

It's DARK outside and there's NO WAY I'm going out for a walk this morning! After being in Arizona last weekend, and never really knowing what time it was over there, I awoke to total darkness this morning! ACK! Here it is, time to leave for school, and it's DARK! Yesterday was 88 degrees here in the desert and today should be about the same and frankly, I'm just not ready for these temps! I mean, I have to dig out my shorts! But, by the weekend, it will be down to about 65 degrees with rain forecast for Sunday. Oye vei! I'll have to put the shorts away! I found this pretty work of art in a shop in Williams, AZ. We love to stop in Williams and have breakfast or dinner at the Pine Country Restaurant.

Time Change, Killer Highway, and Veteran's Day~That's My World 111009

I'm not really sure if I like this time change. While I get up early (5 a.m. or sooner), the afternoons get dark so quickly that I don't have the time to get up to the ranch and work the horses. By the time I get home from school, change my clothes, and drive up the hill, it is already 4:00 p.m. (if I don't hit any traffic) and that BARELY leaves me daylight! And, I don't like driving back down the mountain at night AT ALL! It's a two-lane, narrow road with lots of twists and turns and, after battling third graders all day, I'm dead tired! So, I'm very excited about the holiday tomorrow! I can get up in the morning, go in at 6:30 a.m. for my bloodwork that my doctor ordered (just routine), go home, eat breakfast, and head up the hill. Here are some pics of the road I travel when I drive up the mountains to see my horses. WOWZA!!! LOOK at those curves! It is Highway 74, also known as the "Killer Highway". Yes. There is hardly a week that someone doesn't drive their car or motorcycle off of it. I just drive SLOWLY and use the turnouts to let the speeding IDIOTS drive by me!
