Today, I was going to write a long post. About how happy I am to be home after two years of rebuilding. About what home means. About how good it feels to walk around \u2018our\u2019 land and know each plant and bird and critter by name. About how happy those beings seem that we\u2019re back \u2014 the non-corporeal ones, too. (I\u2019m sure the sweet things I left in the trees and the little \u201cHappy to be home!\u201d song I sang helped with the latter.)<\/p>\n

But as happy as I am,\u00a0I\u2019m surrounded by boxes, the house smells of paint, and I\u2019m exhausted. So instead of a long post, here is a picture of the wonderful green being known as Water Avens (Geum rivale), who has welcomed me home so beautifully, with slender stalks and modest pink and peachy heads.<\/p>\n

Beautiful, yes?<\/p>\n

Indeed, I\u2019m happy to be home. This is what home means.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
