Road Trip 2009: Home again

Home again, home again . . .

Winding up over Snoqualmie Pass we left the wide open spaces behind and entered the land of green. It was a good welcome to decend into into the spring green of western Washingon through the misty rain and fog.

Seattle was clear, the sun was low and the ferry ride a relaxed and friendly end to our trip.

We left spring like weather and wandered back and forth between late winter to spring several times as we crossed the country and changed altitudes. We returned to full blown spring weather. My yard is "full", the only word I can think of to discribe the overflowing, high growing gardens. My ferns and hostas are fully open, columbine, poppies and rhodies blooming and blooming clematis stretched across various structures and trees.

It feels good to be home but I will miss the uncomplicated travel pattern we established with no time restraints, no obligations, no complications. The only requirement each day was to make sure Abby had an opportunity to do her business.
