On The Road Again

It's our first day on the road to the northland and, I gotta tall ya, after only 350 miles we're missing the Gulf Coast - a lot. Landed in Waco TX and set up for the night. It's in the 40's with a strong NW wind blowing. Not at all springlike. Had to get out of the shorts and t-shirt attire and into some much warmer clothes. And in spite of being cloudy and for a short time rainy it was still a scenic drive. The foliage is coming out in the new tones of spring that happen only once a year. Wildflowers are in bloom with a whole rainbow of colors. Texas is beautiful in the spring. But, we know we're heading straight back into winter, and unless the planet is sliding into a new ice age it too shall pass and summer will be back as it always is. The sooner the better.


We'll be seeing you - some sooner than others.
