We've Been Here One Week Already....

I can't believe we have been here one week already.  It seemed like it would never get here and now it is here and one week has gone by.  We were so tired from last week. We went into town on Friday night to get some groceries and eat supper out, too tired to cook. When we went into the restaurant the lady asked us if we were over 60? Too funny! The way we were walking we looked like we were in our 80's.  The car ride over there I stiffened up and my feet hurt so bad on the bottom I was limping, it was a funny moment and she retracted her statement quickly, probably from the look on our faces :)

The weather has turned absolutely gorgeous. I am sitting outside in the swing typing this watching the laundry dry on the line.....

They have washers and dryers here at the campground for us to use, but it was so pretty out and I love the smell of sun dried clothes. We put the towels and jeans in the dryers.

Our little gas grill and my bear decorations complete our picnic table. 

                      Did you know we have headless squirrels in Hardin Ridge?  :)

 He had his little head in leaves, hunting for those buried nuts.

Nice little healthy looking one isn't he?  He must have put away alot of nuts last Fall.

Found one!  He sure was busy, we were watching him while eating breakfast ourselves. 

Last night we had a nice big campfire. Oh boy did it smell good. What is there about campfire smoke? 

I told Art why didn't I wrap some potatoes in foil and he could bake them for me so we would have breakfast in the morning.

So I fried up a few bacon pieces, added some onions and then cubed up my potatoes. After they had browned and warmed up I beat up 6 eggs and added to the mix.  Then I put my bacon pieces back in and that was breakfast.  It really stays with you all the protein and we have enough left for tomorrow morning.

While the potatoes were baking we were sitting outside just relaxing and looking at this gorgeous view.  Cooper on the other hand was wanting to go for a golf cart ride. That boy could ride on there for hours.  He and Effie love it.

This was Friday morning. I was picking up sticks and Art was blowing leaves. The wind was still a bit chilly and if you were riding on the cart you needed a coat or in this case a "dog sweater." 

After I had finished picking up the sticks in the campsites and the guys that were blowing leaves were full of gas (their blowers silly) the dogs and I went exploring.  There is a pond on Blue Gill Loop that is so pretty. I was driving around on the cart and this is what I saw.....

This is not loaded upside down, it is the reflection in the pond see....

                                       And look there are fish in there too!

Now in this case the camera didn't add just 10lbs.  This guy was a little bit bigger than a goldfish, but in the picture he looked huge. I don't know fish breeds but I am guessing a little Bluegill?? 

 And while I was sitting here typing this a little Sparrow came into the campsite and walked around looking at us. So stinkin' cute. He picked up part of a nut and and was eating it. He was so tame. He has been on the bird feeder I have up too.

He moved around and looked at me. "Now please get my good side, since I will be seen by many."  He had many good sides but this one is pretty cute.

This little Redheaded Woodpecker must have a home around here. He hangs around all the time. This morning he landed on a tree right outside our window.

Sorry for the glare. I took it out of the window.  We have affectionately named him "Woody." Remember watching Woody the Woodpecker on  Saturday mornings?

Well that has been our first week here in Hoosier National Forest. We are having a blast, meeting new hosts that are coming in and enjoying every minute of this new life style.
                         So from Hardin Ridge, best wishes and take care everyone.
