Camping Part 2

While Liz and Lucy where out in the boat they spotted a huge nest that last year they thought was Bald Eagle. But this time they saw the Osprey parents. They also ran into a beaver that was not happy to see them. He was slapping his tail on the water to make them go away.
There are many Osprey at this lake. I either don't have the right camera or I just am not fast enough to catch them in flight. But they sure are beautiful.

So many birds. But I was surprised to see a Mexican Jay. They aren't even listed in the area bird guide. These birds are many in Madera Canyon but I had never seen them here before.

Liz the mistress of the grill. Made the best pork chops.

Cutting up a delicious tomato. Everyone made and brought things.
We all had hat hair and lots of brown dirt on us. But someone cheated and went home to get something and took a shower. We did have a shower room so Liz and I used that it sure felt good.

 

 

 Sorry for the blurry picture but he was moving fast and I don't focus fast enough

This was the morning we were leaving just after sunrise

 

This morning was 4 loads of the dreaded laundry. And pulling things out of the shed to re arrange things and put it all back since
an ice chest was added and the screen room. I laid out the fake grass on the deck and sprayed it all down on both sides to get rid of the brown dirt dust. I left it spread out so it can dry out then will fold it and put it away until next time.

In the morning I have one more load of laundry. I figured it was a good time to stop using the flannel sheets and with all the bedding off it is easier to pull up the mattress to reach the storage area and put camping things back. It will be so nice to be done getting dirty and my house back in shape.

Spend some time sitting out side with Fred, reading a book.

Have a great weekend and stay safe.

Good Night All
