Day Two of the trek. Mr. Jaunty has now driven 1200 miles. I have sat beside him, luggage under my feet, two rats in a small pet carrier between us, all sorts of junk shoved behind both truck seats… purse, provisions, and queen-size pillow in my lap….. Every time we stop at a gas station, I have to wrestle myself in and out of the truck. Most inelegant.
Before moving to New Mexico, I never understood the dry heat vs. humidity concept. It was only upon entering a New Mexican greenhouse with my then-boyfriend “Grackle” that I felt the difference between air and thick, wet air. Very Helen Keller moment, you had to be there.
Bedtime!



We’ve got a 17 acre sauna waitng for you.
To fully appreciate the Midwest you need to be here when the snow flies.

Stitchywitchy – Can do! I don’t own any jackets or good winter shoes… I have one wool coat. Color me unprepared.
