Camp Hosts on the Job


Here it is Father's Day weekend and finally a few campers! ha! We have had a very slow week figure it is due to bad weather. Very cold with snow on the pass at 3000'! Hey, what is with that? but then when you consider what the rest of the country is facing and earthquakes in Japan and China, I'll take the little bit of snow we had and wind for that matter! This weekend has been worth it all. Very, very pretty with sun shining in all it's glory and the water on the lake sparkling like a zillion diamonds and the smiles and laughs on the people's faces make it all worthwhile. We had a glorious Saturday and expect today to be just as nice. This really is a very pretty place and I LOVE my yard as Earl is tired of hearing me say... ha! The strange and wonderful wildflowers, birds of different sorts and heard the wild turkeys are starting to come into camp now too. We have not seen them yet but one camper did and told us about it so we are hoping to see them soon.


I can't seem to grow any plants except tomatos at this point. Planted spinach (the squirrels loved it), radishes (they destroyed), green onions are still struggling and cucumbers demolished! Oh well, I'll keep trying - oh yes, garlic is thriving... guess that may be it for now.. Know if the deer find my tomato plants it will be history for them too but we'll have to wait and see.

We were surprised to have Earl III come down for a very short visit in Aug 2017 and took him up to Sedona and Taliesin West to see Frank Lloyd Wright's art school.  Very interesting tour and unique setting.  Of course homes are crowding in on this area now so not the seclusion that was intended when originally built.

Hingham, MA

Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign.  Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started.  Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture.  It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha!  All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.  Too bad so many have been neglected.  Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere.  Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN!  Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations!  That is something in this young country with so littl

It was a bit of a surprise to see this guy swoop down on this dove at our "quail block" the other day.  He sat there looking around long enough for us to get a few pictures then flew off to eat in private.  Thank goodness he took the dove with him instead of feasting right there.  They have to eat too; and all that but it is disturbing to come out and see a pile of feathers.  I can speak from past experience they do not leave anything behind besides feathers.. no skin or bones or waste...  Pretty isn't it...
