Back from sales excursion number one ... happy to be home!

I came back to a foggy and damp Sonoma county to find these lovely flowers greeting us up the driveway. Such a welcome after our chilly little adventure on the east coast. The redwoods dripped around me and I reveled in just being home, mountains of laundry and all.

We leave in a week for Colorado - it's wintry brown layer a stark contrast to our lush green grass and bright mustard and daffodils that will be glowing as we drive toward the airport.

This last trip was successful, and so the next one will be as well. But I will still sigh a sigh of contentment when I shift down into the covers of my own bed and hear the rumble of our tortie cat at my feet - and I know that the newspaper, my hubby and a nice breakfast in the country will be awaiting me in the morning.
