Michigan is starting to open, and I remain hopeful that I'll have camping stories and pictures to show to you at some point. We still plan to camp at the bottom of the hill this summer, but we'll probably be day campers down there until mid-June, as Mark's dad is staying with us for a month, and we won't want to be down there at night with him alone in the house.
I was thinking earlier today about sports. I don't just love sports, I love looking forward to sports, so this year has been difficult in that respect. It's the absence of looking forward to things that feels so sad to me today. So I sat down to write myself out of that sadness. And yes, it's working. There's so much to look forward to (obviously, Anne, she thinks to herself), but at the top of my list is seeing our closest friends, going to my local library, and camping. By the end of the month I'm hopeful we'll be able to do all three to some extent.
What's at the top of your list? If you're reading this, I'd love comments. Also, I hereby commit to two posts per week. Since it's Tuesday now I'll make them Tuesday and Saturday.
Camp in place!
Above, you can see the location of our camp in place. Mark has been busy getting it ready since late March. He'll take the trailer down the left side of the hill, where the path is clear and the slope isn't too steep, then he'll swing the trailer around to the empty spot in the middle, and leave it facing the field to the left of our property. We have lots of firewood; I know a firepit is in our future. Mark has new hoses so we'll have water down there, and we have a generator just for the trailer that will also come in handy. As you can see, the oaks have finally leafed out! I took the picture yesterday. It's emerald green here n the Irish Hills.
Until Saturday at the latest! Stay as sane as you can.
