We had rolling hills in South Dakota and Minnesota and then lush green rolling farmland through Iowa. There were corn fields as far as we could see!
When we got to Davenport and set up the camper there were very dark skies and it was rumbling toward us. The first storm skirted by and just gave us a few drops. There was enough time to light the grill and get our pork chops cooking.
We had dinner inside. Jen prepared a nice side dish of flavored rice and green beans to go with the pork. We watched part of Fried Green Tomatoes. We had to stop the movie because the rain got so loud on the roof of the camper that we couldn't hear it! So, we played Catchphrase instead.
It was nice to crawl into a soft dry bed with the rain on the canvas lulling me to sleep. I love that.
Onward further east today. I-80 here we come!
The true outdoorsman... looking to the sky and deciding when to get the heck inside. Bravo !!
ReplyDeleteYou may also be facing some rain tonight in the Huron, Ohio, area.
Poor Baxter walked into a strange field today with Aune on the other end of the leash, and came home with a face full of those green sticky burrs. Hopefully, the haircut will have grown out by the time you get home :O)
I will feel 1000% better once I know you have landed at Barb's front door. Then you can relax,take a real shower, sleep knowing you have no place to go tomorrow, and enjoy being with family again. God Bless... Much love, Mom
