in Benicia town…with our paltry but beloved selection of roses
and the hummingbird still down by the wettish lands near the straits.
Morning walks with Sumi sighting river traffic in the winds
before covering up the ’45 for another season
knocking off the myriad details
and a last dinner at Mai Thai
to facilitate leftover red curry [not shown] for the first night away
from the windy straits and a last morning’s cryptic leavings
just before leaving for the “summer”, all six months of it.
Lane closures over the top slowed things down but not
disastrously; stops at Heather Glen, the Prosser Bike Trailhead,
the usual Escape from Reno and gas in Wadsworth
on beyond Wadsworth
things thinned out considerably
as was to be expected
so after exhausting unloading
it begins…well something, anyway. Red Curry…
