WILD HORSES COULDN'T KEEP US AWAY

When it was time to go home, we wanted to go home. After almost 2 months away, including a great month in Vancouver, we  drove east in a mad dash of 3 nights on the road. Huge range of scenery  --- were these wild horses trying to keep us away?? Snow caps, giant reservoirs, mountain ranges, cornfields, all along an endless ribbon of interstates.





The skies impressed with a range from blinding morning sun, to sci-fi clouds, through pelting rain and then double rainbows! We dodged the snow flurries that covered the route 3 days later...




GEOGRAPHY QUIZ!! From British Columbia to Ontario, we passed through 9 states and two border crossings. Put these signs (ID and WA not shown) in order, west to east...









So grateful to arrive home safely on the fourth day. Our friend Sunrise as welcome as ever but further south on the horizon. Leaves covering the slippery driveway up, and in the eavestroughs. All the rituals of fall come back immediately, like cleaning out the pond. Bliss!




The yard is dressed in a coat of many colours. Red is in the majority, with sumac and tomatoes and oak. The spruce cones are thick --- a sign that winter will be cold and snowy?





But there's no place like home. There's no place like home!!   :)    :)
