I am headed back to paradise tomorrow. It is a bittersweet leaving. It is time to be gone, and it is hard to leave. I don't remember when I have been this exhausted. I have spent the day in bed, trying to catch up so that I can actually get on the road tomorrow. The really scary thing is I have been sleeping. Rarely do I nap during the day.

Olive is really ready to be back in her yard. She is a funny girl. The longer she is away from her home, the more skittish she becomes. Every noise and blowing leaf catches her off guard. She shies away, she jumps. It is time to take her home.

Going back is always a challenge in winter. You must watch the weather. There is always a window of opportunity to get in. You do not want to push the ice and snow. It is so unforgiving.

I will let you know when I get home!
