That is all.

On the other hand, my car is packed and ready, save for the chunk of our veggie and herb gardens that will go on the floor spaces. Yesterday, when I made a final visit to Ralston Reservoir, I also picked a variety of sage so I can smudge our new place. My car is going to smell delicious. When I got in to cram my yoga mat and hand weights into a nook or two my car already smelled like a savory stew. So nice.
Mother nature also decided to gift me with a large goose feather. Before every positive move I've made in my life I always find a shed primary feather from a bird. This made me feel so blessed. Shelby and I I ran the quarter mile back to the car, leaping like a deer over knee-high sage and rabbit brush.
I am sure that if any of the farming and ranch folk saw me they'd think the hippies were invading.
Just before we left Shelby walked down to the western chanel, where we walked when the reservoir was still thick blue ice. This time she kept walking and calmly strolled into the soft green water. She swam in a few matter-of-fact circles before getting out and showering me with her shake. I laughed and probably startled the cottontails and marmots. I will miss that place so much.
But now to look forward! I'll be offline for a few days, as tomorrow is moving day with a minimum 9-hour drive.
(Oy vey!)
