Auntie's Tree Welcomes Me Home

Dear Diary,

I was so happy to step out onto the back porch this morning and see Auntie's Tree in full bloom.  It was a wonderful "welcome home".  I can see that for a few days at least I will be in "flower photo mode"...a big difference from the sweeping landscapes of the Burren in Ireland.

It will take a day or two to settle back in, unpack and do laundry and such.  I feel no urgency though, just mail back the GPS device and stock up the refrigerator today.  All things in good time.
