Note: Ward, Wally, Theo, and I took a week-long trip to the Blue Ridge of central Virginia.
We packed up and got on the road fairly early, but not before I fed the horse more carrots. I felt like I was leaving a friend as he neighed with a little head toss to greet me. (I know, he just liked the carrots, but I can pretend we bonded :))
We drove along the same part of the Blue Ridge Parkway as Ward and I had the previous day so Wally and Theo could have the experience before we left the area. It was hazier than the day before but still had good views. And we were surprised when we saw how much the leaves had changed in just one day. They will be at their peak soon.
We had an uneventful trip home and arrived to a fussy cat, who, in her own way, was telling us she missed us.
If you've read any of my posts about this trip, you know we had a good time. The trip was the culmination of good planning, good cooperation, good weather, and good scenery.
However, that doesn't mean everything was perfect. At times, we had heavy traffic, wrong turns, slips and bruises, noisy cattle, headaches, colds, and disagreements. But the good was so good that those things didn't really register much.
Or perhaps the vacation seemed so good because it did just what a vacation should do - it gave my mind a reset. However, I'm back in the real world now and all the chores and issues that come with it. Speaking of which, it's time to check on the laundry.
Until next time...
