I had the best intentions of writing a blog about my New Mexico named daylilies tonight – it’s too late. I had the best of intentions getting to bed on time last night – until the police scene unfolded outside my bedroom window at 10PM (right next to my Southwest daylily garden . . . was that really a SWAT truck?) I had so many good intentions about a smooth start to the semester and some of those have been overruled by life.
Tonight, I must get to bed. Another very full day tomorrow. I had intentions of slowing down . . . yea, right. I work in rural America. Someday, I’ll get ‘er done. I’ll retire and play with daylilies between road trips.

Adios Albuquerque 8/14
So, tonight I leave you with my favorite picture of Adios Albuquerque – the sun was perfect for the 7 PM shot. The 7 AM shot missed the mark. The lead photo is Treasure of the Southwest with a nice sun angle, too. Now, I intend to sleep. Wish me luck.
