The mornings have been chilly and gray. Except for a couple of days in March and April in the 90's and one that reached 107 degrees, we have had below normal temperatures for this time of year. That is a good thing!
I missed the six o'clock news but I do believe we are expecting rain tomorrow. I was outside transferring water around so I can make room for more in my rain catchment system.
Yesterday was such an enjoyable day no neighbors around they were all at area parks celebrating Easter with their families. I decided to make Caldo de Res (Beef Soup) to use all the vegetables I still had from my trips to México. I opened up the windows and had a good crosswind circulating through the house that kept the kitchen from getting warm.
Last night I just could not go to sleep so started watching YouTube videos as I tend to do when this happens. I have always wished that I had been old enough to have attended Woodstock but I was a kid at the time. The musician I would have most liked to have seen perform was Carlos Santana. Thanks to technology I was able to watch his original performance, boy was he young!
Forward to newer videos and that is how I came upon one of Santana a couple of months back with the Lonely Boys at the 2004 Latin Grammys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxbmHc9ZBys It is almost sacrilege to say but I do believe Henry Garza could well be his successor after seeing this American Music Awards performance with Carlos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6mY6vEa8DY
Needless to say, the music made me want to jam not sleep! Forced myself to go to bed at 5:30 a.m. so it is no wonder that I have done absolutely nothing all day. Oh, by the way, the Lonely Boys are from San Angelo, Texas and their father is a widower and a good looking TWC. Enrique Garza is shown on a YouTube video jamming with his boys and the legendary Willie Nelson.
My cousin is on vacation and asked me to keep my cellphone turned on in case my uncle needed something as he would likely call me before he dialed him. I do not like technology but I have to say that Whatsapp has come in handy for calls to other countries.
There was an earthquake this morning in Mexico. My cousin felt it because he is vacationing close to the epicenter but could not get through to my uncle. He finally answered and come to find out he did not even feel it or even know about it because the seismic alarms never went off.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
