Aunt Linda

My Oregon friend Linda is auntie to all our animals. We love to see her and she is welcomed with much joy by the dogs especially when she graces us with a visit. I am very fortunate that she enjoys being here to get her "fur fix" while taking care of everything and everybody when we leave to go on vacation. Linda comes here to dry out a bit from a Pacific Northwest winter and we leave to get rehydrated.

We will be off to Seattle to pick up the National Geographic Sea Bird on a photo expedition to Alaska. We have been with them in Alaska before and enjoyed it so much we decided to add Canada's Inside Passage.

For the past couple of days, Linda has been getting reacquainted with the ranch routines, but there was  time to go on a short hike this morning. The desert is greening up and a number of plants are in bloom. It was a bit warm at our rest stop, Emma thought. Aunt Linda obliged. We are off on vacation without a care.
