Coming Home-ish...

I have been learning a lot about what it means to come home these last couple weeks. I've been in Eugene for a little over two and a half weeks and I am realizing just how different it is to see this home-world through my grown-up-ish eyes. Some things (however) don't change too much. Below are a bit of my perspective in pictorial form:

This is my favorite picture (taken this weekend)

This is the front door I've looked out all my life.

Can I make this my trade mark? Girly and thorny in one glance. I used this picture instead of the clearer one as the transition is leaving all these details a little fuzzy .

Figuring out where the steps end and where the path begins is half the battle... it doesn't help that the path has had pieces added to it!
