Post Parted Depression

I'm not really depressed, just missing some people. All the company and visitors we have had over the last two weeks have gone home or on other adventures. The last week our little house has been stuffed with kid accouterments while the washer whirled away in the background. We used paper plates, people slept on the floors, the sofa, the hidabed, and sometimes in the car as we traveled to and fro.



We sat out on the deck evenings with the lights off to discourage flying, biting critters, and laughed and talked. Now the house is stupefying silent but there are reminders, the boy forgot his cap, the deck has spots of yellow where Goldfish crackers fell and got stuck. My computer settings have some rearrangements. And photos. My niece went arount the house one twilight and took lovely, dusky photos like the white rose at night below.

I miss you all, it's like empty nest again. Travel safely you all, and come back soon.
