The grand return

Well, we've both safely arrived back to Calgary.  Meredith was picked up by family this afternoon and is probably home now too.  It's nice to be home.  I've come home to a peaceful, empty house and am busy doing laundry and catching up on mail - all the mundane and strangely joyful things one does when one gets home from a trip.

All the transportation getting home went off without a hitch, and the views we didn't see flying in & out of airports on the way up, we got to see on the way back with the stellar warm & sunny weather everywhere else seems to be experiencing.  Here some things I notice upon my return:  Where have the hedges gone and why is there not more vegitation?  Also the road width is ridiculously liberal - you could make all our 2 lane roads 4 lanes, or park on both sides - no wonder we're so sprawly (I know, I know, we need it in the winter).  And the sky seems overly dramatic - there are shapes there, and depth!  And it thunders when it rains.  Weird.
