Besides the daily "scope-out" of the morning temp's showing a downtrend, the flowers and foliage show us that change is coming. The day before yesterday it was 31° first thing and never rose above the low 50's with thick fog blanketing the canyon. So different from the blue, BLUE skies we normally see. The electric blanket is on the bed and the tiny electric heater plugged in and ready to turn on if needed overnight.
We had a relatively sedate Labor Day weekend in our park, so dead one day then full of happy campers for the next couple of days and back to just a few "regulars" spread out around the park.
The cabins and transient RV spots are all empty first thing in the morning on Fri 9/02/22. By the next morning everything was full. |
Can you say quiet? |
The above video was taken by a "workamper" who's working here for the season. It's also the 1st vid I've tried to post, hopefully it works.
Pretty good camouflage job, just a tiny red spot under the chin. |
While up near the laundry I spied this (tired) tire cover I found amusing.
Let's not forget these guys running around, wild turkeys. They were very skittish and it was hard to get a good pic, but it looked like a him/her.
Tom and Mrs. Tom? |
I mentioned the flowers showing some signs of the upcoming end of the season, however this lady's planter box has done beautifully over the course of the past few months, thanks in large part to her diligent applications of Miracle Grow I suspect.
How pretty is that? Good job neighbor! |
On the cooking front, I've discovered a "new to me" wonderful chipotle product that I don't believe I've seen back east, so I've stocked up on some to take back home. It's a sauce, so it's been pureed, no hassles, so good and so easy to use.
Finally, I will share this cartoon, which is often the case when coming up/down our canyon on the weekends, albeit never that much traffic! Haha. See you the next time, thanks for stopping by.

Don't you just love this cooler weather?!?!? We don't have any bears here in the hills but we see plenty of them where we go fishing in Canada. Fun to watch, they are a lot smarter than one would think opening car doors like that!
ReplyDeleteWe do love it, the air's so crisp then it warms up quick. I'd rather not see bears in our park, and about 2 weeks ago we had paw prints on our car! Yikes.
DeleteI guess you have to be on the lookout with that bear as she surely will come back especially if she smells food being cooked. Love that spare tire cover. Your neighbour has a green thumb or, as you suspect, a good supply of miracle grow :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the tire cover too but your last cartoon had me smiling!
