One last look about.
It does not look like a gale is blowing does it. But it was. At one point I had trouble actually walking forwards into the wind.
Mr Flowers.
I leave this morning, very early, for California. I will be feeding the animals in the dark. It will take the day to travel across this country. If all goes well I will arrive on the other side of America by night time. I had better get busy fast so I don’t miss the first train that will take me to another train that will take me to the plane that will take me to another plane that will take me to my son.
I hope you have a lovely day.
Love celi

How wonderful to cross a continent in a few hours… We’ve become so accustomed to getting there quickly that we’ve almost forgotten the distance and the tremendous undertaking it used to be to make that journey. One of these days, we’ll hook up our little caravan and cross Australia, Slow Travel to allow us to enjoy and appreciate what we see… But if time is short and family is waiting, Quick Travel is definitely the way to go! We’ll be here when you get back 🙂
If it were that long I would hope we all lived closer together.
Safe Journey!! I love to fly across the mid west and then the Rockies come into view, if it’s not too cloudy!
Yes! I hope it is clear
Have a wonderful time in the warmth of your family,
Safe travels. The rain has stopped here, just in time for your visit – and spring is definitely in the air. I don’t know whether you’re going to be in Northern or Southern CA, but either way, you’ll have lovely displays of wildflowers if you get out into the hills. Especially in the South – still a little early here in the North. All this rain means seeds will be popping that haven’t for years. Enjoy!
Safe journey and have fun with you son.
Elizabeth is right, you picked a great week to be in California. We’ve gone from a long, wet winter to 65-70 degree, sunny days. Some time when you’re out here, let us all know and we can meet you (and each other) for lunch.
Safe and happy travels x
A long weekend in California seems very appealing. Enjoy your break and family time ♡
You talked about the winds so I was expecting some windy weather headed our way. You didn’t say THE W I N D S !!!!!!!
Safe travels!
Oh, the wind! We had two days of a constant gale — I can’t ever remember it blowing that strongly for so long, not just gusts. At one point, I looked out the window and saw a bucket (which I’d foolishly left on the front step) on its way out to the hay field. It’s a nice blue bucket, so I decided it had to be saved (it would have ended up miles away, I’m sure!). When I ran out to it, I had the wind at my back — whee! But it was SLOW going on the way back to the house.
Enjoy California!!
Two trains, two planes. Love of family. Safe travels. Mr. Flowers looks healthy, did you ever discover why his plummage was white?
Have a splendiferous time
