The day has been a packing day. In a few hours—probably before many of you read this—I’ll be on my way to Ireland. I stopped for a moment and grabbed a shot of the ladybug who has been living in my house for the last week or so. A house guest will be here to take care of the dogs while I’m gone, and they have a list of directions—no need to add my ladybug to the chaos. So I took her outside, took a photo, and she flew off after her close-up.
Now this is my first trip in almost 20 years where the computer is not joining me. I may or may not be posting the dailypic from the road. I am on the fence. It can be done by phone, and that is probably where I will land. Simple photos, not a lot of words, then bigger posts when I get back. Or I will take a vacation for the first time in 16 years (not counting my great guest posters in the past) and double up for you when I get back. Don’t stress if your email does not arrive or you don’t see a post. I promise, photos are being taken, and I will share them one way or another. If it is tomorrow, well, as of now, we both will be surprised.
