We're having a fairly quiet period presently. The oil well on our site is between operations, and much of the production in the area is somewhat limited because of hunting season. We've had a few hunters but have yet to see any game taken. Still, no matter how busy (or not), we're stuck at the gate and have to rely on TV and Internet to know what's going on in the world. Got to say I'm glad the political campaign is over. Not that the results are what we were hoping for, but, oh well. We got to vote - and even got out ballots back to WA in time for election day.

 

 

No matter where we are we always do a little gardening. Our tomatoes are in 5 gallon buckets, and as of late November have already produced some ripe fruit. The sorghum (milo) is meant for the birds, but as you can see this beefer decided that it might be a decent snack. Took him about two minutes to clean out this patch.

Our links to the outside world. On left, Direct TV dish antenna; closeer, our Hughesnet dish for internet. Both work quite well. I've got to work out the issue of how to transport the Hughes dish, but I think I have it figured out and will post the solution at a later date. Don't have to move for a while, so it won't happen any time soon.

Almost every day we have a flock of wild turkeys pass by. This group numbered 36 but they weren't all packed together at one time. They were spread out over a couple hundred yards. It seemed like the end of the parade would never come, but it did and they moved on. Since we can't go very far to see things it's nice that things come to us for our entertainment.

 

 

It will soon be December - Pat has all the Christmas decorations up so our house has a Christmas atmosphere. The weather remains very mild and pleasant, there has been almost no rain, and the work is easy and quite pleasant. Kind of like wilderness camping. And the best part is that we're getting paid to do it.
