June 5, 2019. Greetings from South Llano River State Park (TX) – first pause on our summer travels.
Getting away takes major effort (well worth it!) – this poem reflects on that, as well as the beauty of Texas hill country. This year the yucca are spectacular. This collage shows the scene – a bit blurred as pausing to take photos is impractical when towing an Airstream! The closeup is of a yucca blooming on the trail to one of the bird blinds here at the state park.

Am a bit envious of you and hubby! I have picnicked and bird watching in that park on way to points further west. I like the way you combined the road yucca photos with the close up photo of the yucca bloom. Look forward to seeing your trip posts.

Thanks, Ken. The adventures planned are materializing nicely … in spite of some unexpected trauma related to Apple iPhone lifespans … I knew a new model was on the horizon and oh, how I wish I’d gone ahead and DONE that before leaving home. But I’ll dub the Odessa TX AT&T experience “adventure” and my various ups and downs with resetting passwords as little mini adventures…

Safe travels, Jazz. My cats, too, know what’s up when start preparing to leave.

LuAnne, thanks – cats are quite intuitive! I am blessed with a cat sitter who texts me pics of my cats when she is there … usually there is a hand petting the cat!

Lucky cats. We have a cat sitter who is great with our cats. I call him a cat whisperer. 🙂 His wife and son have allergies to cats so he gets his ‘cat fix’ by being a sitter after his day job.

Oh how our roles have switched – now I eagerly await your posts. The preparations are mighty but the going is well worth it. I’m picturing exactly where you are in this post. Look forward to further travels.

Ahhh … where I am now is inside Silvie (Airstream) FINALLY connected via internet after a looooong separation …. but in the beautiful forest on mountain above Cloudcroft NM. One night it rained and went down to 43 degrees … there we were boondocking w/o enough battery to run the heater …. snuggle under the covers time! We arrived here in Albuquerque area a couple of hours ago …. for 5 nights. Then we’ll be headed for Colorado.
