Blooming Desert

Blooming Desert

Yucca blossoms, Evening Primrose, Purple Sage, Buttercups and Belly flowers are all in bloom in the Providence Mt. state Recreation Area; weather is perfect....it is camping at its best! Mitchel, Miki (his dog), Cinda (my dog) and I are "trying out" our new camping group.

Last month, I had to make the difficult decision to give up my loyal watch dog Sheila, who had grown too protective of me to be trusted as a pet. In her mind she "owned me", and I could never get the upper hand with her. Fortunately for me and for Sheila, My good friend, and Sheila's Best Friend agreed to take her. Sheila is adapting well to city life, with Lisa, David, and Hilary. Sheila adores Lisa and accepts her as the Boss, which is very important for Border Collies.

Meanwhile, back at Camp Meyer, we are enjoying the peaceful co-existence of Cinda and Miki. The last test...how do we camp together. WELL, the rule from the get-go was to be "only the people get to sleep on the bed". It was a long night trying to get the dogs to understand the rule, and mostly the dogs won. 😳

We will be out another day and night....we'll see! Love, Liz
