We are home

…and jetlagged. So today’s post will be comprised of a bulleted list of facts in no order whatsoever.

  • It was beautiful.
  • The PNW will always feel like home to me.
  • There were many birds. Notably Buffleheads and Bald Eagles.
  • We saw a sea lion taunting birds with a fish in its mouth. Presumably trying to upgrade its meal from seafood to fowl.
  • Their trees had better colors than ours right now.
  • It was exhausting.
  • Not so exhausting that we aren’t already discussing our next trip.
  • Our friends harvested delicious Eva-sized apples from their trees.
  • We were sent home with apples in many forms, including sauce and chutney.
  • It was really nice to get to hang out with good friends for a week .
  • It was a relief to be able to hang out indoors without having to mask up (we followed agreed-upon covid safety protocols prior to and during our visit).
  • We had an amazing time.
  • Xena Malka is making me end this list now because I abandoned her for a week and she needs her scratchies now please and thank you.
