The day is OVER and so is our time at the cabin. The aspens are mostly FINISHED. The wind over the past few days has basically DONE them in. And so another year at the cabin has passed for us. Not too many changes that we could note from last year.
No more significant number of trees invaded by beetles than last year. No more trees toppled over than normal. Not as many political interventions like last year.
We are ready to go “home,” yet not ready. We talked about staying one more day but we both decided that if asked and time allowed we would stay another week. Another day? It wouldn’t make sense. Maybe another three to four days if we could. But one day?
So we have made as many preparations today as we possibly can. The dog crates are loaded as are all the stuff that goes under the seats before the crates get loaded. The dirty laundry is stuffed into bags awaiting their time tomorrow to be loaded into the pod.
Leaving is sad. But we all had a good day including the long walk to Egger’s Pond this morning with the dogs. I will leave you with a few shots from that.
We’ll catch you on the flip side of our journey home! I will try and blog from the road, but not sure if I will or not.
Our day started with Sam and Ebay finding a mouse hiding in our utility closet. Sam was not about to let the mouse go. Cats can be so cruel. He only wanted to taunt it and play with it. Rick finally cornered them in the bathroom and took the mouse away from Sam after a half hour’s torture.
Alex decided he needed more attention and did a little rug work.
Silly dog!
Bella has her last swim.
And we have our last look at western vistas.
See you all back in New Jersey!
