Relief

The rain stopped and the sun visited ever so briefly today, and the garden has gone berserk with new tips everywhere.   

The visitors stopped too, ever so briefly.  We had our first night alone in a month last night, but the guest room is occupied again for the weekend.  We'll go berserk next week packing the car ready to hit the road for a month.

And some of our underlying stress disappeared as well.

Our claim has been lodged.

Now we wait.
