Hagerstown, Maryland

We packed it up late last night and rolled north early this morning. The youngest is off to grad school, so a car and trailer full of apartment goods were hauled up to Pennsylvania in a day.

A smaller rig than the last trip up here.

Picked up a U-Haul trailer, kept surprising myself in the rearview mirror with how close it was.

They’ll brand anything around here.

Those Joro spiders and their webs grab everything.

Straight out from our porch, where I sit many mornings and evenings, is an old oak tree. It’s lost one big limb, big enough I needed a tree service to clean it up. It’s shedding smaller ones again.

I worry about that tree. I’ve spent 18 years watching the sun slip down it in the morning and that same sun set behind it in the evenings. It’s like an old friend, slowly wasting away.

Have passed this many times, still not sure I’ve made the right photograph of it.
