We are getting things packed up for a weekend of camping. I will in the wilderness for the next three days--beyond the reach of cell service and Internet access. I'll have a good book or two, some knitting project, my crossword and sudoku puzzles, binoculars and camera, and some walking shoes and canoe paddles. Quiet time. I hope it warms up. The climatic conditions have gone pretty haywire. We had warmer weather in April than we had in June. Today the temperature is 56--way too cold for our brief summer season, too cold for camping in my book--but that is supposed to change by Saturday. Gotta go do some shopping. We do eat quite elegantly when we camp if nothing else.
It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...
Have a great trip! I can't imagine eating elegantly while camping since I can't manage an elegant dinner even at home.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful to me. We are apartment dwellers by choice but sometimes in the summer I wonder about our choice. It's 59 here today. With the windows and doors open the noise level is unbelievable. It's the season people move in and move out, all the machinary is running to keep the landscape well groomed, people are outside a lot more. I believe people from India think you must be outside to talk on your cell phone. Then there's the apartment pool people have been enjoying for weeks now, even though the temperatures have been in the low 60s. I would love a week-end away from all the noise.
ReplyDeleteI am jealous. Love to camp and right now we are having awesome weather. However since everyone else is going this week end, think I will go kayaking middle of next week if the weather holds. A trick my RVing brother taught me.
ReplyDeleteFood tastes so much better out of doors. Have a great 4th.
Camping food is the best part about camping, in my opinion.
