Home again

Long flights are made faster with dear company,
but we both enjoyed the distraction of


Cranford

(which we have had to start again to enjoy with the whole family.)

It was a happy reunion of siblings.

And today we were awake enough to notice and appreciate all the balloons and streamers that greeted us!

Less cheery has been the reality of smoke-filled skies. I have lost count of the number of wildfires that are burning in our state!
