Saturday

I made it home from a week on the West Coast for some speaking engagements despite a delayed flight that left me stranded in Atlanta overnight before I finally made it home on Saturday. My welcoming committee was led by Pickles. They seemed glad to see me.

Toot, who has started laying really beautiful blue eggs was there too. She’s very proud of herself.

They met me at the gate and paraded around, interrupting their spring gardening—they’re getting the garden ready for me to plant.

I’m glad to be back home. Being away always brings so many good things, and for me, this trip, where I had the opportunity to participate in a panel discussion on the rule of law at an American Bar Association meeting, reminded me that there are people all across the country, with different interests and different views on issues who are united in their love of democracy. But there really is nothing like home.

We’re in this together,
