Sunset Mountain Fog by Mommy2Gorgeous on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

There’s a cool thing that happens just across the way: as the sunsets, the clouds come, they cover the mountains and you can just see hints of what might be there; these giant majestic beauties.

It’s back to school this week tax-free weekend here in New Mexico and when I look off my deck, I see the Elementary School in the distance behind the trees and behind that, mountains. One of our favorite parts of the day is sunset, swinging in the hammock or rocking in the glider.

Not everybody is blessed to have a deck, or house, or even a place to call home and every tax free weekend, every school year, we go shopping for the local family shelter. When my youngest was just an infant we stayed in a family shelter. They gave us food, clothing, a safe space, and eventually helped us find a place to live.

Even though the shelter here is not the one that we stayed in, OK we still make every effort to support our local family shelter.
