In Indiana, Remembering Arizona

There is not a lot going on here at home. We had 29 degree temps last night. Brrrrrr. (and why did we leave Arizona?!!) But today the warm up begins. Yeah!
I was looking through my photos of the desert so decided to post some of those since pictures of Southern Indiana are not quite so interesting...yet. It will be though. The flowers will bloom and the trees will finish leafing out and it will be beautiful.
Our daughter has tons of plants in her greenhouse just waiting for the soil to warm up. I can't wait. Of course I get some of those! She also has something like 181 tomato plants but I don't think we will be putting those in the ground just yet. Soon though. Maybe I will post photos of all those tomato plants!

Back Home Again in Indiana

We are home now and it is good....and a little bad. The good part is seeing our daughter and her family. We have only been gone 6 months but the grandkids have changed. Taller and more grown up.

The bad part is the humidity but I will get used to it. In time. We left humidities of 10 to 17% and here it is 89%. No wonder I have a headache! But it is sunny and will be 72 degrees today so all is not bad. It will be a good day to get all the limbs picked up that the winter storms have strewn all over the yard.

We traveled 7000 thousand miles this winter. Good grief! That is a lot of miles. And we sat still for a lot of that time. We traveled 2400 miles just to get home. But it was fun and we had a safe trip. The ole bus did just fine getting us around. Now, we will sit still for awhile and hope that the gas prices go down by the time we travel again.

Leaving Tennessee

This is our last day in East Tennessee. We love this area and always hate to leave but we really need to get back to Indiana.

The grass and trees look absolutely beutiful to us after being in the desert so long. Even though we like the desert, it is always a welcome change to see the trees leafing out and the Redbud and the Dogwood in bloom when we return.

It has been rainy most of our stay here but we really haven't minded. We have still been able to get to the music jams we like. There are jams here at the SKP park Thursdays and Sundays, and at the Volunteer RV park Tuesdays and Fridays. The Volunteer RV park is just about 1/2 mile east of the SKP park so we don't have to drive far. There is another one we like on Mondays at the Volunteer Fire Dept. of Paulette but we will have to miss it this year. We will hit them all when we return in the Fall. We have a lot to look forward to.

Easter Dinner In The Desert

We took our last quad ride for the season and went on some awesome trails. We will miss this area!

It is Easter and we had a WONDERFUL Easter dinner! Yup. Crackers, cheese, and summer sausage with tasty lukewarm spring water from a plastic bottle!
