Lazy Sunday Scenes from Frontier Campground

Sunday is truly a lazy day for me. Ever since Mother's Day two years ago, Denny decreed that on Sundays I don't have to cook. He takes me out to breakfast, cooks me real popcorn for an afternoon snack and then heats up leftovers for dinner, or takes me out again. I get to play on the computer or read or watch golf since we turn the campground over to the weekenders and simply hang around our place on Sundays. So today's pictures are about where we're hanging this summer.


The main area of the campground is shaded by lovely tall ash, black walnut and sycamore trees. In the "back forty" where we are, there are trees behind us and across the driveway from us, but our fifth wheel is in the sun so we would be able to get a satellite signal for our TVs and Internet access. It's not as pretty, but it works for us.


The campground offers these rustic little rental cabins for overnight and weekend stays. They are basically just sleeping cabins, but each weekend they are filled.


This was what we saw beside us for almost four weeks, but it was towed out on Friday. The owners here are still working hard on clearing out some old permanent trailers and making this more of a campground and less of a trailer park.


The lack of rain before this week really stressed the trees as you can see by this branch starting to change color already. We never did get a really good soaking rain last week, but we got enough that the corn in the neighboring fields shot up a good two feet and it is now taller than me.



Can you see the cow in the exposed roots of this tree that hangs above the dry creek bed that Patches and I wander every afternoon?


Finally, here are the chairs I got from the estate sale. It's not hard to tell which chair was left exposed to the elements by its previous owner, right?
