    We only have 6 weeks to go! We are going a bit crazy putting our gardens to bed, preparing the house for winter, instructing the couple who will be living in our home while we're gone, and preparing for the walk. We have packed and re-packed and then packed again to make sure we can fit it all in and that we're not forgetting anything. Hold us in the Light.

Love,

Ruah and Louis
