Day 617: Goldenrod

The pollen count has been ferocious and I have endured terrible allergy attacks this season.  We have two air cleaners operating in our bedroom now so that I can get through a night without sneezing and coughing spells.  I hope fall brings relief, even though I don't want summer to be over.

I finally finished all the trip preparations at 10:45.  Crazy, but now we can relax and enjoy our adventures!
