Midway or Ireland?

Duff and I left for the cabin this morning.  It was just the two of us this time, which we really enjoyed, but at the same time it felt a little odd.  We always have someone with us or Darla.  Christine has lacrosse the next two days and our puppy is 'gone' since the last time we were in Midway.  When we walked in the door it hit us that Miss Darla wasn't with us.  She loved this place.  When we got to the switch backs she somehow knew where we were and got really excited.  She would wait not so patiently at the front door to get inside and ran right over to where her dish goes and stood there until I put a drink of water down for her.  Then she would run to her kennel in our room and bring out every 'baby' she had in it and scatter them all over the great room squeaking them with pleasure.  Her arrival routine was complete as she jumped on to the giant bean bag and settled down with a sigh.  We both started crying and missed her a lot.

There is still snow on all the mountain tops and it is June 29th!  I have never seen that.  Midway looks like Ireland it is so green from the heavy winter and long wet spring.  We have had a summer storm ever since we got here and are loving it.
