60° and sunny. Perfect for visiting a local fall festival.
Met a peacock this weekend and immediately thought of how they wake @maique’s family up all the time.
Sheep are usually thought of as cute but I couldn’t help feeling creeped out by this guy. After this photo he kept staring, hooked his horns into the fencing, and slowly pushed his face further and further into the wire with quiet grunting noises. A disconcerting experience.
We visited a local farm today and met a Highland Coo taking a break from the sun in the shadow of the barn.
Even though I’m across the country, I can always count on spotting birds of prey. (My wife tells me this is a Merlin Falcon which makes it much cooler! 🧙♂️) He, or she, wasn’t around very long but I managed to catch a photo under the Japanese maple.
Journaling in the shade of the trees. Moving has broken nearly every old routine and loosened many thoughts and feelings that need to be sorted through. Such dramatic change is an opportunity for growth that I don’t want to squander.
Our last evening in Florida. The usual half-hour afternoon thunderstorm finished and we’ve crammed our cars with our remaining belongings. There’s nothing left to do but try and get sleep for the two day drive to Michigan.
With the generous help of friends and family, we managed to pack all of our worldly possessions into small-ish shipping containers for transport. Now we prep ourselves for the cross country trek to Michigan.
The Continuing Voyages
I guess Paramount wasn’t so particular about their TV swag in 1992. 😂 Everyone is assembled but they’re all in half poses, looking in different directions. A perfect metaphor for my family’s current state. Today kicks off a long, multi-month, voyage …
This is my cat beautifully expressing my family’s exhaustion. We are in the nasty bit of moving where, no matter how many things we box, it feels like we haven’t made a dent. We know it will eventually end but the only way out is through.
