We're back...

We've just returned from seeing some stupendous chunks of the USA...I'll try to blog this and that as I find time. Though I hardly feel adequate to the task. This country is so big, so beautiful...

Most of all I was deeply affected by the Great Plains. Mountains and forests, well, California's got some of the best. I'm used to them. But those vast open spaces...vast and green. (We have wide lands too, but ours are brown! Brushfire warnings are up already.) Of course the greenness takes a somewhat different meaning when friends in N Dakota talk about how nicely Spring is coming on. In California June is Summer...
