Rain..rain..go away..

Seriously. It had been raining/cloudy/stormy for nine days straight. Makes for soggy,mildewy,puddly, muddy campsite. And a grumpy mom and children. Here you can see our beautiful waterfall. The grandeur!!!
Here's our fancy bridge over troubled water Stu assembled. 
He also put some pallets down in the kitchen area. Surprised no on broke their ankles,we kept falling through the wood slats. Sunday morning was torrential! We had flash flood warnings, a huge thunderstorm and tornado warnings. Luckily no trees fell on us or anything and we didn't murder eachother being stuck inside all day. The wind blew the top off my canopy.
Last night it finally cleared up and we walked down to the lake. It was a beautiful sight.
Today I will be basking in the sun along with these stinky wet shoes. Having a blest day!!

Dogs

We put up a long dog run for Moqui when we got out here in between to trees, the full width of the campsite. Plenty of room to run and explore. But no, she wants freedom. She first chewed up her leash(that was hooked to a longer rope) to escape. Naughty!
So we decided to get her a harness that goes around her body, she can't chew that up right? Wrong. And there she is grounded in her kennel not even caring.
So finally we got a really long chain and she hasn't escaped since. We put Molly on a long line just staked into the ground. She is fine. She just wants to be wherever I am. But Moqui thinks it her job to free Molly, so she will grab Molly's rope(if it's in her reach) and frantically chew it loose for freedom. She has done this twice. Idiot. Other than that the dogs have been pretty good. Here they are enjoying a bath haha! Truman took this:)
She loves it so much!
Molly blends in nicely with the dirt.
Instead of lying on her nice cushion Moqui likes to choke/sleep as close as she can to us. She sleeps on the "couch" at night.
Molly sleeps at the end of our bed
Her favorite spot to sleep outside(this was when it was cold)is on the camping chair.
They like to go on walks..
And look for alligators..
The end. Have a blessed day!

Our Little Rolling Garden

I wanted to have a small garden out here and decided the best way to do it would be a pallet garden. I got one for free off the classifieds and then had the genius idea to put wheels on it so when we move campsites every two weeks it wouldn't be a pain to move. So my trusty husband put it all together for me:)
We put a million layers of weed cloth on the bottom and just stapled it to the wood. Then added the wheels!
Moving day! They rolled it the whole way! 
We planted strawberries, herbs and sprouts in the garden and we have a planter of kale and flowers. It's growing nicely!
Have a blessed day!!!!
