he has left

it's true.

he is off climbing el captain with our friend richard. so, for the next nine days i must figure out ways to entertain and feed myself, the feeding myself is what i am most concerned about.
he also left bear, even though bear kept piling toys on his climbing gear.

it was strange saying goodbye this morning. i'm out of practice.
the hardest part was the realization that i am not going.
i don't get left behind on long climbing trips, yet here i sit at home while husband drives toward yosemite.

then i found this guy on my porch.
it made me smile to see him so close to the house, and completely unaware of the fact that his costume made him stand out rather than blend in.
if he were truly a master of disguise he would be turning red and orange like the other leaves around here.
we are both out of our element.
