Rhody is very proficient with Rest & Relaxation. He has been doing quite a bit of it since we left on vacation at midnight last Monday morning. He rode about eight hundred seventy miles mostly on the rear deck so that others on the road with us could observe him doing so. Since arrival in Western Washington, he has been snuggling with others whom he encounters while also engaging in similar activities. This illustrations demonstrates how expertly he engaged in rest & relaxation in Skooter’s Garden.
Although not as proficient as Rhody is, I also have been engaging in a significant rest & relaxation. This is why I have not written as much as I typically write about horticultural topics during the past several days. Although I am aware that I must compose my gardening column by Wednesday, I have deferred most other writing. If it seems otherwise, it is only because my gardening column posts in two sections on both Mondays and Tuesdays, and old articles are recycled for both Thursdays and Fridays. My negligence is more apparent only on Wednesdays and weekends. I should return from vacation on Thursday or Friday, so might resume more typical blogging before too many notice.

Enjoy the rest of your break Tony, and get in a few naps like Rhody!

I took some of my work with me, and am pruning apple trees while here, so can not nap quite as much as Rhody.

I wonder how Skooter felt about Rhody sleeping in his garden? :-).

Rhody did not sleep much. He lounged a bit, but only after major rowdiness. Regardless, Skooter does not seem to mind. He sort of sniffed Rhody a bit, and then watched from a distance.

I hope you and Rhody have enjoyed all of your vacation and might have stories to tell later. Travel well.

My vacations are relatively boring. That is how I like them, and how I relax. Going to Tangly Cottage Gardening in Ilwaco was the most interesting part of it. We will be returning home at midnight, in about three and a half hours.

Cruising with Carson is AWESOME! However, there was a slight bit of snow in the Siskiyous, which was terrifying. When we got back, we could see snow on top of Mount Diablo, which is rare, and unheard of in April.

Carson would have been fine. I just do not do snow.

No you’ve had no reason to understand how to do snow. Even some experienced winter drivers here would be better not to do snow.

There has been no significant snow on the floor of the Santa Clara Valley since 1976. San Jose actually gets less snow than Los Angeles.
