Hello from the highest hill

Lynne Robinson, Hewitt, New Jersey

Hello from the cabin! We don’t have internet yet but hope to on Thursday. Right now I am sending this from the nearest hilltop where Rick’s wireless connection works, albeit very slowly. Twice per day we drive until we can get a signal to check our email and connect with the rest of the world.

The cabin is peaceful. Many flowers are in bloom, the weather is warm and sunny and the dogs are having a great time sliding down the one remaining snow bank.

My eyes have had to adjust to the high altitude sun and the lack of lush greeness that is New Jersey. Here the high prairie has its own beauty, but it’s different.

I hope to blog a lot more once we have a connection from the cabin itself and not the nearest high point.

Until then ...

twice a day up the mountain!  wow, I’m not sure i’d make quite so much effort.  But its great to see where you are, it looks so lovely.

ha!  and the word verification is “beyond”

Beautiful! Does it feel good to be back? It must!

I’m ready to head back east and out of Colorado lol!

Hope you and Rick have a fantastic time, and enjoy this great weather we have!

Ooo pretty! It’s like a different version, well a 8,000 mile high version of the hillside of wildflowers at the Marshall Hill/Greenwood Lake Tnpk. Intersection.

Remember when there was no such thing as internet and we didn’t get all panicky when we couldn’t check our mail? :D

Have fun, I can’t wait until you get full sevice and we get to see some more of your mad photo skills.
