Fall is approaching!

I'm just sitting here trying to get my blog all fixed up, so I can take it down from the blogspot site before they do...man what a pain in the arse! I think I'm going to get half of them done today and then I end up sitting here for 3 hours fixing just ONE post! Good thing I only have like 75 to fix and not 1,000! So I'm fixing it up to make it all purty & easier to read, it's all jacked from moving it over... and I figured I haven't written in a couple of days so I thought I would bore with you those simple details! I can't be the only one that gets to sit through it...haha suckers! Really nothing much has been happening around here. Our new friendlies, Jenn & Johnny, got themselves a new ride and popped over the other night to show it off. It's pretty rad and I told them I would give them the pics I took before I put them all over the web, so this is the only one I'm going to post...

It's a pretty sweet van! They are downsizing from a "(bigger) house on wheels" to this so it will sure be interesting but I think once they get used to the size, they'll be super happy to be able to go on even more adventures...and places they haven't been able to go due to size! We spent the rest of the night talking about conversions, clothes and everything else in the world... we love our new friends, they fit us! 


From then until now it's really just been kind of blah out here (to me at least). We spent the weekend taking it easy. Got some Jeep visitors on Saturday that had enough respect to drive right through our camp...um, excuse me... no respect, saw me and kept on driving, (but not for long due to tree trunks in the road and a dead end). We were going to go to the 'beach' on Sunday but with so many visitors Saturday, we decided it best to stay at camp in case more people decided to Jeep through so we watched Football instead. Oh...and I took lots of self-po's, which I am now going to call Auto Ritratto's, Saturday, haha I get "bored".

We also moved around some tree trunks to make it seem more like a dead-end and then moved them again due to peoples' lingering curiosity of what's back here...

We watched the sunset together and played with the Nana' Bug and hit the hay, it's starting to get dark earlier everyday...before you know it we'll be in the van for the rest of the night at 3:30p.m.!

 Sunday, other than football was pretty much the same. Lots of auto-ritratto's and redressing. I always start the day out in a tank, pants or a long skirt and my flops, by 1-2:00 p.m. I'm changing into socks, mukluks, a long-sleever & my knit sweater. It's ridiculous I tell ya.

J' gets out of the van and he just laughs at me. I like to sit outside so I do and get dressed for it, he sits in the van all day mostly warm and toasty. He works in the van and I like it outside because I feel like I'm cooped up in my bedroom all day otherwise. Soon enough we'll be about 7 feet away from each other in the van a lot more often, so I'll take the cooler weather and warmer clothes until I am sucked into having to be in there all the time. I love him, but I love to be outside too...so give me my outdoors while the weather is good! Savannah, I think, would rather cozy up in our comfy comforter! She is soooo freakin' funny!

 And then today was very much of the same, although I finally got a picture of this totally amazing Blue Jay that I've been seeing in the mornings when I do my Yoga & Stretches. When he flies, he is the most gorgeous turquoise and electric blue I've ever seen...I love Nature!




[caption id="attachment_978" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Love him![/caption]

 So with that I leave you as I drink my cup-a-cocoa to warm my bones. Much Peace, Love and Light to you and yours. Snuggle up my buttacups!

It was a tough job, but someone had to do it!

Being out in the woods gives me much time ...a little too much time to make up things to do. This morning I started off with Yoga. I have a step-by-step book that I used and am pretty impressed with myself...hey someone has to be! I did about 40 minutes and then had some hot tea...Peach! It was so yummy, I almost forgot how great tea was until I saw it shoved way in the back of our pantry. It was awesome following my Yogi ways! hee hee I changed into some 'day' clothes; jeans and a long sleeved shirt, it's been quite chilly the last few days, and did some things on the computer. The battery on my computer only lasts about 2 hours, 2 hours and 20 minutes if I'm lucky, so after my computer started screaming for more power I had to be creative on something to do. That's when the picture taker came out in me, like it doesn't already do that every 5 seconds of the day. I grabbed the tripod and to a flat surface I went. I never have pictures taken of me, because I'm always behind the camera... everyone takes crappy pictures! No, I'm serious. No one 'cares' like I do, so the pictures are always blurry and unfocused or don't turn out at all, so to ease the pain of looking at them later, I just take them...leaving none of me. Booo sad face. So, me and the tripod find a flat surface and Savannah is curious but stays far enough away to not be involved. Now, I am a pretty fun gal (on my good days) and I don't really like too many 'serious' pictures... they get boring. See for yourselves what the next 40 minutes of my day involved...and people say I don't work anymore! HA

And what kind of Mother would I be, if I didn't get Nana' in on the fun!?

If you have any more fun suggestions for me to try with the tripod, let me know...I'm aaalllll ears!!
