From #DelMarVa to #Louisiana, New Mexico to #Glacier,#Badlands to back home, it was the #roadtrip of a lifetime. Not sure I'd dare take that trip now, what with my health and the state of the nation. But I DID take it, and it sustains me. #Montana #Flathead #mountains #photography #nature #horses

Exciting stay at our favorite #hotel, which included finding a fancily etched flip knife, a used bandaid, and popcorn kernels on the floor.
The puppy is a great road-tripper. Jax still doesn't much like him.

#Puppy making his second road trip (the first was 50 miles to get him home). He's being surprisingly good, calm, naps sometimes. OTHER times, more bitey. Love him, regardless.

After losing Chuckles the #cairn #terrier, we lucked into this beautiful #puppy. He's Billy, Mungo, Chilly Willie, Sweet William, Captain Billy, Cappy, Fierce Creature, Beast, Poppy, Purple, and O, Captain! My Captain! Among others.
Today, he slept on my bare belly, I could feel his every dream.

Hoping to fashion something Chuckles-y for our son. Charles was the "defining dog" for Sean, I think. For my husband, too.
He was a lawful good Charlo who, at times, would even tell on himself.

My Chuckles died . . . Tuesday? I think maybe, the days have run together. We were in #Atlanta, arrived to find my just-died dad's house tossed, torn apart, all the copper stolen.
And then Charlie died. 14 yrs.
Miercoles. Charlo. Tootsie Dog.
What my #doggy.
And now his watch is ended. #photo

#MYSTERY Before #dad #died, when in hospital, I asked what these numbers meant. He didn't seem to understand what I was asking, and when finally answering my repeated "why did you scrawl numbers on the bathroom wall?" #query, he said, "to drive you crazy." #photos

Find myself wondering--if I declare this the really real worst year of my life so far, will fate hand off her beer & rub her grimy little hands together?
#Dad is dead. #Dog is not. Hang in, Chuckles. You've given me more in 14 than some do in 60.
Please let the Welsh be wrong #nature #photo #faĺl

Charlie--Chuckles--is dying. 14 years old in a couple weeks, congestive #heart failure. Bad. Unbailably. They wanted to end him at the #emergency vet, they wanted the same next day at his regular vet. But we're going to give him a good time before the mobile vet does the deed at home #love #pets

1st #joro #spider I've encountered. Thanks to my son for spotting the web before I walked into it and died #screaming. I know they're not medically significant. I also know that knowledge flies out the window upon getting tangled in a web with a spider nearly as big as my face #nature #photography

#Beautiful girl, yellow #garden #spider- Argiope aurantia, I think. She's SO much bigger than orb weavers we get back home--my first thought was #Joro. She was maybe a little more than an inch long, just body.
Didn't have the guts to get in close, even though she's not dangerous. #nature #wildlife

On the road yet again, right back where we just were. 700 miles each way, sixth time since mid- June.
But this time, no #dad.
Never thought I'd have fave eateries in Knoxville, #Tennessee. But I do. Hoping this will be the 2nd to last trip through Knoxville. Ever.
No slight intended. #Photography

Hitting the road, taking care of dad's disaster. Picking up his aquamated remains. Getting started on the next stage while cleaning up the last.

Watch the corner, Dad.
The last words I said to him before leaving for the long drive home. He was #dead by morning.
It's #strange, #unbelievable. He's gone? How, when he loomed so large over us, left marks.
Scars.
He went easy, it was redemptive. Glad I was #kind. Your milage may vary. #goodbye

My dad's in #hospice, on his way out. It's complicated. My dad & me.
4th drive down since late June, 700 miles each way. Takes us through #Knoxville.
Wish him a gentle slide, please. He so very nearly, in a lucid moment, expressed remorse today. It fixed nothing but somehow helped all the same.

My morning, in #bugs. The little #hoverfly (her colors!) took a shine to my phone case, spent a 1/2 hour exploring. Wrestled phone from case to snap a couple shots.
1st #monarch, possibly since we've been here. The bush is a non-native bred for a low germination rate.

Sadness. These #birds are non- native, #invasive, & they're known to attack/destroy the nests/babies of #native #songbirds. We didn't used to see them outside of town, but this year, we're seeing a bunch of them.
Even though we've no feeders up this year because of disease.

Come into my parlor . . . .
Dunno who's in there, but I could almost make him out.
Look at the baby #acorns. A few years back, T and I gathered bunches to make acorn flour. Mixed with whole wheat, oats, and #homegrown amaranth for the most amazing #holiday rolls ever.

Been awol recently. My dad is #dying, and I've been on the road a lot. Was easier when it was Ma. Less complicated because my feelings for her were simple.
She was my daisy.
Give a thought to the Major. He's going out hard, and his surprise and confusion are heart-wrenching.
