Home again home again

Back to St. Louis, and all's well....finally. Much ado about the car, however. Thankfully this was not outside of His plan: there are far worse places than Denver in which we could have been stuck.

All have been so generous and hospitable to us: we were in 13 different places over the 9 weeks we were absent. We were thrilled with the west: Montana, Wyoming and Colorado had mountains, hot springs, lakes, and canyons enough to delight us all....but we are so delighted to get home and back in our own space to get dirty or clean as we like ;) My girls are thrilled. As for me, it's back to the garden I go, and there is a ton of pruning to do, as is to be expected. I am enjoying cucumbers, zucchini, basil, rosemary, and onions. Tomatoes are on their way!

Dinner tonight was a lovely combination of grass-fed beef (sirloin) donated by good friends, roasted potatoes (another friend's contribution) with rosemary, zucchini with basil, and red wine (another gift). We have some special friends and family, what a delight to return home!
