Thunderstorms, Mini Nature & a Leak

Unlike my sister Hope's photos, my aphid herding ant picture turned out fuzzy. So you just get the aphids on a wild drape vine. :)

This is the first campground we’ve ever stayed at where we’ve gotten bored. I think it’s because it’s such a tiny place, and there are no trails. So once you walk past 24 campsites, you are back where you started.

Our forecast

The thunderstorms aren’t helping. This morning Ron told me there was water dripping on his pillow last night. I pulled all the clothes out of the overhead cupboard, and, as I suspected, the leak was coming from the cable connection.

Baby grape leaves

As it was starting to sprinkle again, and I had no tools to do a proper job, I just ran silicone around the connection cover faceplate, and will replace it when I can get the parts. I sopped up the soggy carpet, opened all the cupboard doors and ran the air conditioner all day. It feels dry in there now. Sure hope it doesn’t leak again tonight.

Sheba was sick yesterday, complete with diarrhea. I cleaned her up when we got back from our walk yesterday afternoon, and so far she seems to be okay.

Young wild grapes

Since we’ll have thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow, we thought of leaving a day early. We still may. It depends how we feel in the morning.

I took Sunny with me to try to find photo-worthy shots today. I couldn’t find a single thing to photograph. After a while, trees and water shots start to look the same and uninspired. Then I decided to concentrate on closeups of cool things I might find. Ah! At last I had something to intrigue me and make the day worthwhile!
