Hello Sistahs from Kaibab Lodge in AZ.
Yep I'm alive and kicking here! It's getting down closer to the end of the season here which is October 31st. Here so close to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon it's getting cooler and cooler at night. More than a few mornings I've went out at 5:30am with Shade to find frost all over the Blazer. The small thermometer on the 'house' has read low 40's, high 30's and from my view, it has even read 32F a few times. BRRRRRRRR I go out in my sweats, jacket and a thin wool blanket, sit and drink my coffee while Shade does her business. She looks and looks for the Chipmunks. I keep telling her that they aren't out that early, she just doesn't listen. I know that while Kelly and I are working that they come knock on the sliding glass door to harass and tease her.
When I let her out when I get home she goes flying out to the neighbors and under their MH cause she sees those evil striped things go there.
The Aspen leaves are turning bright yellow with the colder, frosty temps. They are pretty but no match for the oranges, golds, reds, bronzes and lime greens of the Oaks, Maples all the others. So much of this area is beautiful but I do miss the Fall colors and the smells of the East. Not to even mention the trees that look like they're fluorescent, so bright they almost hurt the eye. ~sigh~
After reading about all the GTG's I know that Kelly and I really need to hit the jackpot for Power Ball!!! Buy our rig and travel to join in on ALL the GTG's to see everyone!
Dream on Echo, dream on ~sigh~!!!! Then I can enjoy seeing everyone, see the east during the fall and then of course hit the deep south for winter! hehehe Hey, what the heck! If I'm gonna dream I might as well dream big.
Well it's time to sign off and head for the house. Need to let Shade out and get some supper. Leftovers tonight but need a can of Cream of Mushroom soup to add to the leftovers and make them stretch a little more for us tonight. YUM!!! Chicken and mushroom soup as a gravy base out of the crockpot and rice. My mouth watered last eve when I walk into the house and it's doing it again just thinking about it. Oh, oh, oh, I can't stand it. LOL
Love to all
(what ya think about me posting 2 nights in a row?
