The sun has been going down much earlier, now that it's October. I love to sit out on the porch at dusk and observe the colors of the sky. They shift and change shape, like a movie. It's such a beautiful and active scene. I find that I can take the most artistic photos at that hour. The one above is of my neighbor's house. I took it the other night when we were expecting a storm, but we didn't get any rain. I used to live there when I was thirty-three. At that time it was a very old and simple cabin. I used to look at my current house from the window and think, "I wish I could buy that little cottage and live there by myself. It could be so cute." My neighbor and her husband built the home in the photo from the ground up; I think it's very impressive.
I am still harvesting zucchinis from the garden. I love how green they are. I've been boiling them in a small amount of water, and then serving them with butter, salt, and pepper. Yesterday I made an old fashioned casserole with tortillas, green chiles, cheddar cheese, and a couple of cans of cream soup. The recipe isn't very healthy, but I love the taste. I got the recipe from one of my neighbors. It was popular during the 1950's. It seems that I like everything that was in style during that time. I sent the recipe to my mom, and she used to make it, too. My father and brothers loved it. It reminds me of her. You layer everything, like a lasagna.

I am slowly adjusting to the Birkenstock sandals. Instead of wearing them for such a long time, I just put them on for a couple of hours each day. It's made a huge difference. Thank you to those of you who commented about them. I appreciate your input. I did some more research, and plan to give myself two weeks to break them in slowly. My feet feel relieved today. As a dancer, I tend to push my body, and had I done that with these shoes, it would have been torture for my feet. I have a feeling that these will become my favorite shoes, in time.
