Just got on the red leather couch with my IPad and a little glass of spirits. Finally, it’s 8 PM. Was extremely busy today and just now I get a chance to write to you. Was working on our tractor for half the time, getting it ready for autumn tilling. Then the rest of the time I was scurrying around helping to get Wiley’s new truck street legal so he can take it on our trip tomorrow.
I have Mass in the morning then I am free to go. James is going to bring a good camera so we will have pics for you. Here I am going to make a list of ten things to photograph, like a scavenger hunt:
1. something interesting in the sagebrush
2. someone snoozing
3. sunrise/sunset
4. find a turkey
5. the Columbia river in the distance.
6. Phil cooking
7. mammal, rabbit, coyote or cougar
8. birds, partridge, quail
9. raptor
10. pic of camp from higher elevation
We are taking the Elk Hotel which is our 12 ft by 12 ft wall tent. It has been years since we have had it out. Wiley and I spent all kinds of nights in it in all seasons in the past. It has provision for a wood stove so it can get toasty if there is wood handy.
Well, have to go. But wait, what about the blog for the next few days. I may just come up with something interesting out there. Will type it up when I get back for you. Thanks for your loyalty. We are in this together, love, Felipe.
Have a beautiful trip. That landscape is our Mesita, so wide open and full of sky. Will be thinking of you, Wiley and James out there waiting for the good shot. Bring home some birds and stories too. We’ll catch you on the other side. We also know how you have been protecting this time – now it is yours to enjoy. Buen Camino.
Catherine ~ we did it, in all it’s funk and glory. Back to neighborhood stuff today, got a new tarp on the shop roof. See you soon. Maybe not a great weekend for tailgating though. Felipe.x
