I’ve noticed that the sunlight often plays hide-and-seek, like a game of “Now you see me…” I appreciate the unpredictability of the weather here. Sometimes, I see bright sunshine out the window, so I wear a short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts, only to find it chilly outside. Other times, the day looks gloomy, and I assume it will be cold, but when I step outside, I discover it’s warm.
Now, I’m no longer caught off guard by the weather. I don’t rely on the window’s view to determine if it’s cold or not. Instead, I step outside, feel the air, and then go back in to prepare accordingly. I also don’t depend on technology to tell me the temperature; I let my body guide me in deciding how to dress.
The beauty of Abq lies in the pretty sunshine and the cool mountain air. One might assume that sunlight brings immediate warmth, but that is not always the case. However, with summer approaching, it feels reminiscent of California or Southern Nigeria, which explains why people often spend entire days lounging by their swimming pools or carrying hand fans about.
