I paid for a camping site then came put to the Lodge for dinner…. didn't want to leave. A whole lot prettier than my campsite.It will be beautiful in a couple more weeks... right now --- very few signs of spring...
Interesting that the higher I climbed, the trees were more barren. Beautiful spring budding all everywhere driving up here… all shades of green on rolling hills ---- just as pretty as the fall foliage, to me. The colors of Spring… Dogwood trees … redbud trees… forsythia bushes and well, name it.
When I began the climb … it was gradual until here on top… it's still wintry looking. The evergreens are always wonderful… bear signs are everywhere. They have a video of baby cubs and Mama … and well… you really don't want to mess with 'em… not to worry.
Sooooo walked all around made a couple of videos… I'll see if they post. I'm typing on Text Edit in Homer out front of the Lodge. They have wifi but it's not really strong outside the lobby. But I'm on! I don't understand why the videos come out narrow.... I gotta figure this stuff out ... Well? one posted for the insatiable bored... and I'm trying to do another... It's fun regardless.... I am soooooooooooo relaxed.
Teri, Julia, Gypsy, Roxanne, Grethe, Richard, bargirl and Russ… thank you so much for your comments! Makes me feel good.
The ATT coverage is nonexistent at the campsite but here it alternates between 1 bar to 3 … seems it would be better coverage being this high up! But then what do I know.
After a wonderful dinner… well, the greeters and my server were so friendly … we chatted and chatted…
Ahem… I had chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and crisp carrots and peas with a dinner salad of mixed greens, cucumbers, red onion and bleu cheese on the side… YUM … didn't eat the bread! didn't order dessert… so?! guess that's progress. :D
Anyhow… I'm just going to stay in the parking lot here … waterfall right outside -- manmade but still sounds really relaxing…. If they tell me to move… I have my receipt and will just simply say I would rather stay here in the parking lot! because I can use my cell phone and have weak wifi… or I saw a bear and ... whatever. The post I sent a bit earlier was via my iPhone.... on two bars! and I see it did go through... never know.
Met a daughter and her parents -- 85 … told me about going to Hawaii… husband/daddy took coaxing because he was there at Pearl Harbor… we chatted and chatted for over an hour…. out on the veranda looking out at misty mauve, blue, white., green, gold … rolling hills ---- good gracious! The god I believe in did one helluva job…
Bees are buzzing and these damn old whatever flies…. just can't stand 'em… damn things and gnats and mosquitos ought to have been left off the Ark… I mean really.
The garbage disposal was gurgling and overflowing and doing just terrible bad awful stuff as I was rinsing my coffee cup and ready to walk out the door …. Joe came in the kitchen and started whating? and jeeeezing? and all that man stuff…. I said bye… he said .. bye… love you … love you…
It does look beautiful & you sighed a big sigh of relief! I think the slim video is an iphone thing.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you for breaking loose - enjoy everything that comes along. Nothing has to be written in stone, and you can go anywhere you want, including back home if and when you decide to.
ReplyDeleteAye Carolyn,I glad that you finally broke loose and are enjoying yourself. That lodge looks awesome, no wonder you didn't want to leave.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting in the ready mode to leave for my 6 hour drive to the Fiber Art Retreat on Friday. My daughter and her friend are coming with me this time. I need to clean out my van of the winter sand and salt before leaving. My hooking stuff is all sorted out and packed. I'm off to get feed for my calves and do some banking and grocery and paying my house insurance. Baahhh HUgs, JB
My camping days have morphed into cabin days. Just got back from a weekend by the creek with no internet or ATT service. Ahhhh.
