hello!

friends, i'm still here. i know i've fallen off the internet, and i apologize. the rest of my trip was terrific (more to come!), and i arrived back in vermont late monday night. the week has been a bit wild-- significant changes at work, the usual catchup, unpacking, a lack of food in our house, and two weeks worth of dirt floating around the house. but it's also been great-- an early morning trail run in the pouring rain with lu, my first fitting for my wedding dress, an evening bike ride, weeding in the garden and enjoying our greens, and an early morning bike ride today. i thoroughly enjoyed the west coast and time spent with friends & future family, but it was so sweet to return to vermont and enjoy a few sunny summer days.
