Back to California

Our trip went well. Some beings found it almost boringly routine.

We had good weather and great scenery. Shasta holds a pile of snow waiting to become summer water.

I knit quite a bit on my scarf during my passenger turns. It seemed the better project than the just-cast-on body of my sweater with the still-iffy cable placement. I expect the Casbah to block out well since the label says machine washable, despite the 10% cashmere.

Easter here felt an odd combination of Spring and Summer today. The temperature got to 70, which felt warm to those of us adjusted to Seattle weather. Spring here often runs warm for a few days at a time and 60 is the norm. The forsythia is already fading and there are no clouds. But my oaks still have no leaves, only lichen, on their branches. And they're only my oaks for another week.

NB I somehow fouled up getting this posted, so here it is late but with it's original time approximation. After tomorrow (Tuesday) my posting will depend on the Wi-Fi at Starbucks for a week or so. I may become sporatic. Not that that would be a novel condition right now.

Wow, the kitties are taking the travel very calmly indeed. (I'm a little envious- the language I hear whenever ours has to go in the carrier is quite rude!)

Pretty scenery! I've never been to the Pacific northwest, but it's on my list for touristing someday.

Your adorable Ocicats are so relaxed - even in the face of the awesome snow-capped peaks!

I've got to get back to the great Northwest myself.
