Yeah. You understand. Though the night skies here are far more spectacular than anything that was ever possible in Seattle. With the clear, dry skies, no water haze, the huge horizon, and being a mile closer to the sky, the stars pour out into the darkness like diamonds flung by a billionaire before his true love.
I will miss the sky, here. It's larger than can be seen at not just one look but even a dozen.
But, yeah, I miss the comfort of trees. Trees that are actually comfortable with where they grew, there before humans came along, naturally a part of where they fell as seed. Here, all the trees have to be watered, nurtured, so many seemed forced to stand alone and courageous in a place they were never intended to live. Poor things.
We'll move back to the NorthWet, someday. I don't know when, but it pulls. I sometimes think it's like how the sea pulled at Legolas. *grin* While it pulls, I will still explore the places I'm given and take what delight I can from it. Still, I know I'll go back
