Our Camp in Pennsylvania ~ We Are Happy Campers




I was lucky to find the very small air conditioner at a garage sale a number of years ago. This old steel trailer can be a real hot box on a 90 degree day. The cross breeze and shade from the trees are of no help in keeping this poorly insulated old 1953 Stewart Coach cooled.  The trailer is 35 feet long and 8 feet wide. There is little room inside and the furniture is only what is needed. It is quite adequate for 2 campers but 3 campers and their gear can be a very crowded situation. We have accommodated four people in the past. The hallway is very narrow and passing another person in the hall is tricky. The view from the window is incredible. We are happy campers.

The Old School House in Peninsula Ohio

Image
The old Boston Township schoolhouse in Peninsula, Ohio has been nicely preserved though it seemed a rather depressing looking place as we passed it yesterday. It was cloudy at the time and some granular snow was falling. The old building is now used for town functions and a great contradance takes place there from time to time. It makes me happy to see the preservation of the historic old buildings. I'm certain this school holds many memories, good and bad, for the people who attended school there.

Blue Skies ~ Time To Clean the Gutters

Image
A job that keeps coming back! A very wet yard! There have been very few days this month that it has not rained. The yard is saturated and makes a squishing sound no matter where we walk. Russ has cleaned the gutters in the rain in the past but they have been let go for a month or longer. It was time to muck them out again. The wet slimy gunk was flying from his gloved hands as he circled the house. Fortunately our gutters are not up high. The forecast for rain every day next week is not what we really wanted to hear but weather is something we can't control.  Done for this time!

Transplanting Ajuga for Ground Cover ~ A Wet Yard

Image
There seems to be a great deal of the Ajuga ground cover growing in our yard this year. The plants are taller and more lush than usual due to the amount of rain that has fallen. Today was a good day to transplant some of the ground cover plants to other places in the yard. The ground is saturated so the plants are easy to remove from the ground and the soft dirt yields easily to the shovel for transplanting. A couple of dry days with sunshine should dry some things out but the picture below shows the tracks from the old yard tractor. Only some areas of the yard are being cut off today. Perhaps these areas will dry off more before the next rain falls. The grass is getting quite high in some spots.
