Over The Mountains And Through The Woods...

Over the mountains and through the woods, we drove our jam-packed- to- the- brim vehicle. Passing all loved scenery, passing places we stopped a few times in the past, to collect mosses from or certain fern to add to my terrarium. The evergreen hills and valleys seemed to read my mind, bidding goodbye. I felt my warm tears flowing down my cheeks.

I will always love Washington, my home for ten years.

Mister brought half of our belongings to Idaho a week earlier. Leaving our furniture and some stuff we can do without before our new home is ready. We filled a biggest storage unit, I did not realize we have so much accumulation.

We drove passed "our" old house. I imagined myself on the lawn, beaming happily to my playing girls- but somehow, I felt a detachment came over me and my forced imagination blurred away, replaced by the new dwellers faces. It is some stranger's house...

It was almost midnight when we reached our intended destination for the night and settled in for a snooze. We left early the following day, and arrived in Idaho at noon, the sun blazing hot. It was fierce, bright and intense. I have forgotten the noon day sun... and this is just the beginning.
