Tomorrow's Labor Day. I am used to hot weather on Labor Day, but this has got to be the mildest summer I've ever been in. But this is New Mexico, not California and I am up 7,000 feet above sea level.
It was around 70° today with a nice breeze. I did manage to do some yard work, but that ended when clouds moved in an I heard thunder. More rain clouds are expected tonight.
I spent the evening watching The Undefeated (1969) with John Wayne and Rock Hudson. Good movie! It has been ages since I last saw the entire movie in one sitting (probably not since it was first released).
Afterwards, I went outside with a cup of coffee and sat for a while watching more clouds come in. Then I decided to take some pictures.
Here's some of what I took:

After posting this, I got word that the coyote hunt will resume tomorrow morning. Hopefully, our "sniper's nest" isn't a mudhole tomorrow morning.
