I am home

This weekend and yesterday I had a number of people calling to greet me home. That was very special. I still remember the excitement I saw on my husband and mother's faces when my plane was landing at ACK. We get to do the same thing next week when Kestrel arrives from Manchester, UK.

There is a fair amount of clean up, but then I left a house still under construction from bedroom and family room projects. Now, I hope that the front doors can be fixed before it gets cold.

Not all the plants made it, but then plants don't all make it in any year. I still mourn the stupid things. At least there are some interesting seeds from the Beijing Botanic Garden to amuse me in the spring.

It looks as if the bills are in order and will be filed quickly. last.fm works here. I didn't even try in Beijing. I wonder if I will ever get to any of the pictures I took this summer and if they will ever have any meaning beyond the moment I took them?
