suburban stays

I hadn’t seen my sister and her family for a while, so I arranged a visit with them in the suburbs. It’s always such an abrupt change in population density going there, that it’s a bit of a shock to my system. Families in homes laid out on streets, separated by grass and flower beds.

My sister and her husband and kids had friends scattered around the area and we would drive over to visit them. Stop at a market and pick up sundries needed for the day. Go to the occasional movie in a half-full theater.

I could only take it for so long and then I had to pack up and head out, back into the woods.
