Good Morning Everybody! I, too, have been up for hours, but have been chatting with friends I have on the west coast near all those horrendous fires. So far, they are all ok, but if the wind keeps up, they might have to evacuate.
I've also been outside, covering up woodpiles after bringing in more firewood. I can't believe the sun is shining in the valley on the other side of the mountains where Cedar lives!!!! Holy cow....it's been windy, raining, and now snowing hard up here in the mountains! Temperature has fallen from about 47 when I got up at dawn to about 33 now.
I have had coffee, thanks to Ava, and have just made me a super chunky peanut butter sandwich for breakfast!
Molly's mom....I know exactly how you feel. For a couple of years, when I was way younger, I took a couple of years off from teaching, moved out of my rented home, and moved into my VW Bus. I went all over the country, seeing it before it got really touristy----early 60s----and could even pull off AIA in FL and camp in the dunes! No condos at all back then. Got all the way to OR coast and back again, and, by then, was really longing for a 'HOME BASE'
Even after I retire, I can't imagine selling my home and being completely free. There is something in me that needs a 'home' base in a specific location. Not that I will regret getting free from here in the dead of winter and heading for somewhere warm and sunny! But, yes.....I totally understand your feeling about a yearning to go home. Being thankful for what you have, and for your critters that travel with you, and for your health, and for your 'home-on-wheels' is very important. But, not sure if it will cure that inner, nagging thing about a stable home base.
Am curious if others feel that tug when they take to the road?
Hope you all are having a nice Sunday. Molly and I are heading out in the snow now for a walk in the wind!
Life is about learning to dance in the rainHappy travels!
