sunsets | Down the Road

I’ve had a lot of insomnia over the last three weeks. We’re still dealing with challenging stuff at home and this is the latest way the stress is manifesting itself in my body. I saw my doctor the other day about getting back to sleep and I’m working the plan we came up with.

I haven’t been blogging much. You can’t tell because I post up to three weeks in advance. But the posting queue was nearly empty. I normally blog in the morning while I eat my breakfast, but not lately. Sometimes it’s because I’m in bed until the last possible minute so I’m less zombie-like at work. The rest of the time I’m just too damn tired.

I miss a lot of things about my old house: the gardens, grilling on the deck, enjoying the way I’d decorated the place. Margaret and I have had to focus on elderly parents, children, and work so much that we find ourselves unable to make our house a home and enjoy everyday life here.

Our home is typical of modern suburban subdivisions, with acres of vinyl siding and not enough windows. Our house backs up to I-65 and a new Toyota dealership was recently built between us and the highway. We’re blessed to be here but I do wish for an older home in town.

But zomg (as the kids all say) do we ever get spectacular sunsets here.

To fill the posting queue with stuff that’s easy for me and, I hope, interesting for you, all this week I’ll be sharing series of photos I’ve made of single subjects. I begin today with Sunset over the Toyota Dealer.
