Thoughts From the Road

It is very very strange to be at the farm by ourselves. Since it was so wet I opted not to dig up any lilac suckers this trip.
I saw deer every day. The best one was the one that was sleeping just off the driveway at the farm. It got up and sauntered off when it realized we were just watching it. Nila said there was a mama and a fawn living in the grove, but we never saw them.
Fireflies. I was so much more excited than the littles were. Didn't see any last time I was here so I was happy.
No trip is complete without the trip to the cemetery. Have to visit the dead. Funny how I visit cemeteries every where whether I know someone or not.
I made sure that I got lots of Harold time. Made up for the short changed time he got last time. There were too many of us and too much to do that time.
Loved Teresa's new house and visiting. Ended up there Friday night till I was tracked down by Nila who then told me where to find the key to the farm. We invited ourselves to Sunday lunch. Learned how to play Farkle and it was fun.
Visited with Glen and Nila at their house in Lakeville. Sad to think it is probably the last visit with my uncle. He told me a bed is always available but next year I may need to consult with my cousin Greg who is going to buy the farm.
Funny seeing land being sold as hunting land. I just don't think of real estate that way.
Five days on a trip with the littles.....veg time and room service are so worth it. Enjoying the downtime. Great trip but damn it is going to feel good to be home.
