Fix'n to get ready

So we are off the the Middle East for a fabulous Wonders of Arabia sailing from Dubai to Athens on the Windstar Star Pride. 

The 18-day cruise of the Middle East

The stops include Luxor and Petra

Then it's off the Istanbul for a tour of Western Turkey for 10 days.

I always like to take a few shots of our place before we take off on these long trips. That way, when we return we get to see the changes that have occurred during our absence. It's especially true this time of year. Springtime brings rapid changes to the garden, and it's always a surprise.
