Wow! What a great week! We had a ton of fun camping at Rimrock Lake. We read books, took naps in our hammock, swam, fished, enjoyed shooting stars and campfire songs, ate pudgy pies, hid from the rain, smelled the trees (Ponderosa Pines smell like BUTTERSCOTCH, it's crazy!!), and even tie dyed shirts! A giant THANK YOU to Jen, Heather, Hominee (and your families), my sister and our neighbors for helping to keep things under control, alive, and in the yard while we were out of town. It's tough to leave everything behind, but we are grateful to have friends willing to help us out!
We ended up cutting our trip a day short to save our garden from some escapee rabbits and a hose that sprang a (HUGE) leak. We weren't too worried about the rabbits since they are quick to kindle. I was more worried about our cabbages that I've been loving on for five months!! Andy and Matilde ran down four bunnies when we got home, Andy found the last one in the morning, and we had harvested the meat of three of them by noon! It's been a busy day for us on our first day back. Aside from the rabbits, we gleaned and raw packed plums from the vacant property behind ours, unloaded the car and put everything away, set up the tent to dry and repaired some tears, ran errands, washed all of our dirty clothes, and smiled at the end of the day! It's good to be back home. :)

This is a panoramic view from our camp. We tend to set up in the same spot year after year....I bet you can guess why!
