It’s just shy of 7:30 am on a Monday morning, and barely light. But I’ve already had breakfast and been buried in transcription since about 6, and can’t wait to finish up today and get busy on the house. Getting up early and back into the full swing of work and focus is always a rough stretch after so much time away. But last night when we curled up for bed in front of the living room fire it was lightly snowing, and there was a strong sense of home and rightness after being restless and in various stages of transition for so long.

Got caught in traffic for almost two hours outside of Dallas, but once we hit the Oklahoma border at sunset, the road opened up and I felt immediately at home. For all the places we go and love and miss when we return home, I cannot measure the comforting and very alive and idyllic feeling that rushes back when I sense that the landscape is shifting back into the undulating, dry and golden desert and mountain west against anything else.
