Friday

We woke to snow.

I opened the door to take Bear out, noticed that the steps did not look right…Oh, snow!

It melted during the day and then late afternoon, the sky clouded and it started a rain/snow mix.

I had thought to start back toward home tomorrow (Saturday), but looking at weather, the new plan is to start on Monday. It looks to be warmer all along the route next week.

My alternate heating plan is working very well (see comment on “Boys will be boys) – in fact, it has been more comfortable and quieter overnight than with the furnace.

But, I’m tired. My folks are tired. In addition to being and having guests, there has just been a lot of little things and the time change and I don’t know…we are all dragging a bit.

Bear and Auggie are starting to get a bit of cabin fever.

It is time for all of us to get back to our “normal” routines.

But, meanwhile, we do what we can to have fun!

Friday!

Boys will be boys

So, between the normal juggle of work, rv stuff (heat not fixed), pets and family visiting (plus some local politicking)…YIKES!! It has been somewhat non-stop.

But, FUN!!

This morning…

… amongst the local herd, two bucks had words.

But, it was a bit half-hearted.

It appeared they were just going through the motions.

The does ignored the entire thing.

Srsly – it was funny!

Auggie watched.

So did Bear.

Boys will be boys!

Sunday sunrise

This photo was yesterday’s sunrise. Managing heat overnight without my furnace has meant I’ve been up and down and yesterday (Sunday), it caught up with me. I ran out of steam late afternoon, retreated to Wild Thing, put on my jammies, made tea, made ginger syrup, had crackers for supper, walked Bear and went to bed. It was dark, but sunset is early.

It was warmer last night so I skipped the middle of the night heat up and feel more rested this morning. I have an appointment to get the furnace looked at on Wednesday – hopefully something easy.

Lunchtime walk

Bear and I have been walking at a wonderful venue: Coller Wildlife Area. There are three entrances several miles from home base with miles of not bad road to walk or Jeep or 4 wheel, but we park the Jeep and walk along the Rio Grande.

Full moon

The branches I intended…the wire, I couldn’t help.

Full moon.

***RV notes: Propane furnace won’t light and previous fix of starting engine did not resolve. The frig does not show a fault like it did last time the furnace failed. Fortunately it is not super cold and I have a heat pump for when the temp is above 40 (9 a.m. – 7:30/8:00 p.m.), electric heaters and a floor heating system with the engine. We’ll be fine until Wednesday when we have an appointment at a shop.

***Auggie and Bear saw the vet here today. Routine stuff that I ran out of time for before I left home. All well and a very nice vet.

Hopefully a calmer night today and day tomorrow – Friday!
