Spent the afternoon out here today. There were supposed to be thunderstorms moving in late in the afternoon so we didn't bring anything for a meal. Should have, the weather was PERFECT! Mid 60s and a light breeze. Not a cloud in the sky! They messed this forecast up. Oh well! We had a very relaxing afternoon. The foliage is really coming back to life. We had numerous Cardinals and doves hanging out at the camp today. We brought out a couple of new bird feeders and spent a while filling all of them up. We also brought out a bird bath. Just a 2' ceramic dish but deep enough to hold a couple of gallons of water. That should last the week between trips. Also got a mailbox installed at the road side. Don't suspect we will get anything but route junk but at least the paramedics can find us if I chop something off with a chain saw. :) Planted a Rosemary bush I got on clearance at HD for $3. Looked plenty healthy to me. I think it will be happy here.
Was bound to happen sooner or later. We had gone back to the property to measure for a security chain and got the truck stuck. I am going to have to remember that the day after a rain is not the time to be driving off of the road. Walked back to the camp and got a shovel and we were out in about 10 minutes. No, I did not want my picture taken! :)

| Glad it rained yesterday. Made pounding this in a bit easier. |
 |
| Added a couple of new feeders. So far, they've been emptying 2 every week. We'll see how they do with 4. |
 |
| Sure hoping the ceramic holds up to the freezes. Should give them plenty to play in 'til we get back next week. |
 |
| New bird feeder. Maybe the layers of Sunflower and grain will keep them all coming back for more. |
 |
| Rosemary. I'll bet this is 3 feet across by next winter. |
