I don’t have a great vantage point for sunsets at my home, but every so often there will be a big old cloud over the mountains that catches the fading rays and makes me sigh.

Time capsule: we went through a trunk in which we’ve stored keepsakes etc from all the years. Here is a Mr Natural tshirt from 1972– a friend ran a head shop & screened custom shirts. I got to recreate & customize the skull & roses for the back! 💀🌹
