Back home! (for now...)

Well, I'm tired and sweaty and stinky from 8 solid hours of travel (including a spring in Phillie Airport to catch my connection), but I'm back and going to leap in the shower and then a bath. Alas, the greeting of every cat owner--hungry cats and half a dozen hairballs needing to be cleaned up. But on the up side, Finn's fur is really coming back noticeably--he's almost black again! :-) I guess it just takes a lot longer to come back from being basically gnawed down to the skin than just from having one spot shaved.

Ugh, the weather and the drivers instantly reminded me why I wanted to get away from here. I may not be able to wait another year to start my hobbity travels...

More on VT once I've cleaned up and had a day to unpack and do laundry (apparently our house has new washers coming this weekend!)
