We are back home and ready for the summer! We’ve had a flurry of travel activity for various things: work, a funeral, a wedding, and visiting friends and family. We’ve been traveling by car and plane. Mia is an incredible traveler and we all had a great time seeing everyone (even the funeral was an uplifting and lovely event, despite the sad and early departure of our friend and my colleague).
We love to travel and, just as much, we love coming home. (Conveniently, it’s somewhat of a symbiotic relationship that way.) Our chickens are growing fast and we’ve finally put all of our veggies in our garden. The weather is starting to feel like summer and we’re ready to enjoy this glorious season.
Here are some recent photos of our adventures, both at home and on the road…(Note: this is another new-to-me type of gallery…all the pics show up as thumbnails, and once you click on one, you can scroll through all of them.)
