Long Way


I'm packing up today for a long drive home to the mountains of McKean County, Pennsylvania. I'll be on the road at the crack of dawn Tuesday and hope to arrive in my home town before dark.

One HECK of a long drive.

But after white-knuckling myself through Chicago and Cleveland, this will be at the payoff at the end:


I'm hoping it will be green there, and a bit cooler. After the parched conditions here in Wisconsin, I'm really hungry to see some greenness.


My Featherweight and a mindless machine project will coming along with me, as well as a couple knitting projects for the odd moment. Also a couple books for other odd moments. (Pure by Andrew Miller, and Brooklyn by Colm Toibin.)

Excited to see home for the first time in five years!

Believe me, there will be no white-knuckle driving through Cleveland, especially after Chicago!! lol
Too bad you're doing it as a one day trip this time. I can hear the cars on the turnpike as I type. Honk when you go through Hudson! (And have a wonderful time.)
