“There’s nothing half so pleasant as coming home again.”
Home again, home again jiggity jig. I left my sister’s house early yesterday for the airport and walked into my own house at 7 last night. I was hot and tired but thrilled to be home. It was a great trip, though my Red Sox could have been a bit better.
It seems I’ve traded the heat of Colorado for the humidity of Massachusetts. The first thing I did after I dropped my suitcase was turn on the air conditioner in my room. The last thing I did before I went to bed was take an outside shower. By the time I was finished, my skin was totally wrinkled. It was delightful. I slept deeply and soundly.
The after trip means lots of laundry, a bit of straightening up and a ton of mail. They are my chores for today. The weather is cloudy and it’s still humid. Last night it rained for about three minutes, and I sat outside with Gracie. The rain was cooling.
My neighborhood is quiet today. The humidity dulls sounds. I hear only a single bird. Earlier, a rabbit was eating my flowers. I shooed it away, but it will be back. It always comes back. I should put up a sign, Mr. McGregor’s Garden. Maybe that will keep it away.
In between doing loads of laundry, I will lie on the lounge and eat bon bons. The weather today does not lend itself to labor, and we all know ladies do not sweat. I have my newspapers to read. I sorely missed them in Colorado. I read my sister’s paper but longed for local news. I went on the net and read a bit, but it wasn’t as joyable for me.
I am glad to be home.

Have a great day now!

Christer,
I’m happy to be home. I get to be as lazy as I want and not get dressed until noon. The dog and cats gave me a great welcome home!
It is ugly out right now-hot and humid. After today, though, it’s supposed to be great, dry and warm only, not beastly hot.

Ditto coming home although the Porch Kitty threw her body at the front door when she heard we were back from the three day trip. I couldn’t believe it. And my daughter had fed her at least twice since we were gone. Don’t know why, but Maggy and Zoey wouldn’t give us the time of day. Mad? Guess so. But today they are all hugs. The five wildies are back on the porch too lapping up milk like it was their last day on earth. I enjoyed this post. We both went through different types of trips but coming home was the same all the way ’round. Go bunny Go!

Z&Me,
Porch Kitty knows her family! Cats tend to hold grudges. Dogs are thrilled and cats annoyed when we come home. My Siamese always did the same thing. The two I have now never do.
Isn’t coming home the best? I love traveling, but I always let out the biggest sigh as I fall asleep in my own bed!

YES! Asleep in my own bed. That is a plus. A big plus!

Z&Me,
I love my bed and Gracie and Fern as bed mates.
