I’m trying my hardest to remember if there were more leaves when we arrived on this day last year, or less. I know there were more cherry blossoms, less dogwood flowers and a significantly larger quantity of boxes and unknowns. Probably a similar amount of emotional upheaval, since I managed to plan our first trip back to California since moving to coincide with a year of living here, making April 8 the day of arrival in Tennessee times two. I have things to say about this, I think, but if I arrived a year ago today overwhelmed and excited, today just finds me exhausted from a red eye and wishing for the soft embrace of the pillow. The internet connection allows for posting, but the mental capacity has nothing more to say than “ohh, look at the pretty tulips in my front yard.”
More tomorrow.
They are pretty. Thank you for the birthday, it was wonderful!
