11.23.2020 Day 23 of the #25DaysofGratitude #autumnphotochallenge Today's prompt: #books Of which I have so many. Decided it is time to purge the books I had collected for Library lessons. Giving them to teacher friends, a @littlefreelibrary and @kindercare Like saying goodbye to old friends. And closing a chapter in my life.
Tomorrow's prompt: quiet.

11.22.2020 Day 22 of the #25DaysofGratitude #autumnphotochallenge Today's prompt: good health. We walked up #mckelligoncanyon this morning and remarked on the number of vapor trails in the sky. Hope it is an indication to a return to health - physically and financially - for @elpasotexas and our country.
