From the home front porch!
…on my “house” front porch this morning…watching the sun rise over the mountains and through the woods! It is a refreshing 66 now at 6 a.m. but took all night to get here. The “problem” this time of year when it gets hot (90’s) is that sunset is 9:45 so it is not full dark until after 11 and sunrise is 5:40ish so short nighttime for cooling off.
So – home again after 24 days, 2452 miles, $1192 gas (avg 3.29 gal) and $416 campground fees (avg 28/night) – PRICELESS! I saw some areas of the country that I have not seen before, met new people, visited family and generally had a wonderful time and a nice break from “normal” routine. Despite a couple of challenges – being sick, hydraulic glitch, heat a few days – a memorable trip full of fun.
There are a bunch of things I should be doing this morning while it is cool – clean up the motorhome inside and out and I mean REALLY clean – amazing how much dust, dirt, pet hair, etc. can accumulate… not to mention the bug stuff collected on the front end and general road dirt all over. The lawn and garden need mowing and weeding – strawberries ( I think the neighbors are getting those). I have given fair warning to a number of spiders that took up residence on the front porch – to vacate or be displaced by my blower. Tomorrow is going to be soon enough for the RV and yard also – today is to enjoy being home with a quick run to grocery for a few supplies – and maybe “moving” the spiders…
More later – now it’s time for breakfast!
