Crimson & Clover — Day 1/7

Beautiful Japanese Maple this morning, following a night of rain.

And so it begins. Today, I set out with Timi and Clyde on our seventh (!) Interstate foray across these great United States. Which is to say, our seventh crossing altogether, and fourth westbound road trip. WOW.

“We know the drill.”

As is our habit, Clyde was last to be loaded into the car. Impressively, he complied patiently to being harnessed and crated.

Once we got going, however, approximately two hours of loud complaining from the backseat ensued.

😢 I get it. Poor little pumpkin.

Speaking of pumpkins, Happy Halloween and blessed Samhain to all! And a very Happy 32nd Birthday to my wonderful son, Zacharie! ❤️

Inspired by all the brilliant red I saw on my walk around the block this morning, the song I chose (thank you Spotify) to start us off today was “Crimson and Clover” by Tommy James and the Shondells. If you haven’t listened to it lately, I highly recommend. One of my all-time faves, for sure. Yeah…

Song of the Day Inspo. Little Boy Red.
Here is the lucky four leaf clover I found in my backyard a few weeks back. Sharing it now as we head into the wild blue yonder… wish us luck! 🎃🍀
Farewell New England,
until we meet again…
The Intrepids get cozy for the night.

P.S. To all who’ve read this far, thank you so much for following along, and keeping me company on this journey. Please note, if you click through the email and *like* this post, I’ll even know you were here—an added bonus!

Until tomorrow, OBC 💜🌿🦉🌵
