Odyssey

It was another glorious early spring day - cloudless sky and almost warm (low 60's). Mid-April begins the "This-is-Why-We-Live-Here" season and today was one of those kinds of days.

Ken and I set out early this morning in search of treasures at one of our favorite auction houses in Marathon, NY. On the trip we drive through Ithaca and then head over hill and dale through the little hamlets of Homer and Virgil. If we'd been on the other side of the lake we'd have made our way through Ovid and Ulysses too.

Describing the trip as scenic is an understatement.

The grass is so green it's almost luminescent.

On the hilltops the trees are already starting to leaf out.

Some serious house envy was stirred up...

I wish...

I wore my poor paper paddle plumb out at the auction as you can see...

Fortunately we made it home in time to catch the best view of all - the sight of Ithaca up on the hill and the sunset on Cayuga Lake.
