Growing season.

I have been following Shipslog as Jack posts pictures of his journey.
.
We finally are seeing some progress in our Gardens, the weather has been wet and rain and then hot and humid, right now it is dark, humid and raining.

.

.
This is the garden at west side just before we planted it.  Growing season up here is from Memorial Day to Labor Day or Canadian Columbus Day so things have to grow fast and furious as the season is so short.
.

.
The garden has lettuce, onions, parsley, chives, tomatos, beans all coming up nicely.
.

.
After weeding the garden I cooked us a couple of fay, juicy pork chops for dinner on one of our grills out in the garden area.
.

.
We are at our daughters, Anna Mae and I are planting our other garden, our daughter roto tilled it up for us with her Pony Troy Built tiller which did an excellent job.
.

.
The tomatos, beans, onions, turnips, peas and corn are growing .
.

.
We talked Brent, our grandson into watering the garden for us.
.

.
All we are waiting for is the Garden to "Grow Dammit" !!
.

.
Karl and I joined Mark at the Skilled Nursing Unit to entertain the residents and all had a great time.
.
Don't forget our Veterans!!!!!

Well we decided we needed to get away, sitting home stinks, we looked for some Class - C campers, found several we liked, but the cost was not in our budget, we found several pop-ups we liked, we had pop ups before so we knew what we wanted so found a nice little Jayco tag along, Eagle Series 8.  We left home and went to Whetstone to welcome in summer, this park is only 45 minutes from home and we have camped here in tents and pop ups before. 
.
I needed to relax as my Brother John's Funeral is tomorrow at 11AM, he is being buried on his Birthday, June 22.

.
. I see Jack is Traveling on the "Ships Log" and Jimmy has been busy Singing up a storm !!!
.

.
We arrived in some nice warm dry weather, we have been flooded by many many days of rain and we planned this trip between the rain,  we needed some quiet time.
.

.
We got busy and set up "Camp" !
.

.
My Honey worked very hard unpacking as my back was going out again so I had to be careful. Lots of things we packed in the suv were going into the Camper to stay.
.

.
We usually take this site, it is number 56, it has no power but is close to showers and bathroom. It also has a nice fire pit and is nice and dry so no mud from all the rain we have had.
.

.
The picture below is of the swimming area, each year they clean out the bottom of the shale rock pit, put in fresh beach sand and block off the dam, this water is always COLD, it never warms up but the kids love it in the summer.
.

.
The stone in the park makes a nice whetstone for sharpening knives, it also is a great place to look for fossils in the creek.
.

.
Well, when camping you always build up an appetite and I love to cook, so up and at the stove.
.

.
My Honey made fresh perked coffee on our old coffee pot and it was very good!!!
.

.
Breakfast was eggs, Canadian bacon, potatoes with chopped up onions, crackers and fried in lots of butter and juice and toasts.
.

.
The weather was warm, but it dipped down into the low 40's at night and glad we brought the down comforter to snuggle under.
.

.
We had a great time, hopefully we will get out there more!!
.
Don't forget to remember out Veterans, Past and Present.
