Bookmark - Herriot's Flowers (Flowers and Blooms Series)/The Bucket List

Flower cluster taken inside the back garden of the fabled James Herriot's house.  Being there checked off a true bucket list item as I approach the golden years of life.

So what are the other bucket list items?  Let's see...

• Overwintering in the Alaska wilderness, to become a sourdough.  Would be better to spend the entire year in that awesome state.  In fact I told Chenjean that we're ready for such a venture, as I've studied the western coast and now know of its ins and outs, its pleasures and dangers.  No problem.  When pressed, however, I was forced to admit that it was from the deck of a passing cruise ship, but no matter...I read a good book that makes up for the fact that I've not yet actually set foot on those shores.
  
• Hiking the Grand Canyon.  At the right time of year of course.
• Driving up to Maine.  At the right time of year of course.
• Visiting Sweden.  A holdover from having a Swedish childhood friend.  His family was fresh from across the pond, and they all had an accent when speaking English, as Swedish was still their primary language and was what they spoke at home.  I very much enjoyed hearing them speak to each other, especially during heated arguments.
• Returning to spend three consecutive weeks in West Texas.  Would like to get some good rest, and heal a little bit.
• Sharing England's Lake District with Chenjean, plus a visit to Highclere Castle.
  
• Etc. etc...
