Boy, oh boy, were we in for a treat these last 3 weeks! We finally experienced some real summer weather!

Nothing special for Oregon this year but special for us after not much of anything in Alaska.

 

Clear blue skies, abundant sunshine, temperatures around 90F, oh boy, it doesn't get much better than this!

 

 

 

 

I tried to get a little suntan. Much needed I'll tell you. I'm so white I'm blinding! See the little shimmer around me in this pic?

I actually didn't think it was safe to enlarge it :-)

 

 

 

This little sparrow tried to cool off by taking a bath. I think. 

  

 

 

 

 No, he didn't drown but it looks like it was close...

 

James, on the other hand, was working. In Doug's yard again. But he worked on a little water feature, rather 'cool' too...

 

 

 

 

 Even mother nature was still up for summer.....

  

 

  

 

On one such sunny afternoon we got together with Joe and Deanna, our workamping friends from when we volunteered at the Stage Coach campground in Vallecito, CA, which was our very first workamping experience.

 

We hadn't seen each other for 1.5 years but it was like no time had passed, we immediately started talking and barely stopped to eat our lunch and scrumptious ice cream deserts at DQ in Woodburn.

Three hours flew by like nothing and we might still be sitting there if James didn't need to go back to take care of some business.

They're going to be in Yuma for the winter so we'll probably meet again somewhere soon when they're visiting 'our' area around Mohave Valley.

 

 

 

 

 

Close by here in Dundee is the tasting room for 'Wine by Joe' , it's pretty good Joe! :-) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other than that I haven't done much more than working on this blog which was quite a job!

Glad I'm up to speed again.

 

It's not going to last long though since soon, probably Thursday or Friday, we're going to hit the road again!

We're going to take about 5 or 6 days to drive down to Arizona where we'll have to report for duty somewhere around the 22nd. Cutting it a little close there but we'll make it work.

 

I'm so looking forward to the dessert again!

 

 

 

In the meantime, I don't think these clouds are looking too good?!

For some odd reason this seems to work (most of the time). Looking forward to hear from you!
