We had a very nice trip up, being very careful about social distancing .....Wearing masks when we stopped for restroom breaks and careful not to touch anything more than we had to and of course using sanitizer when we got back in the car. I packed food for lunch and dinner in a cooler so we didn’t even need to stop to eat. Found very nice rest-stops with shaded picnic tables.
There wasn’t much traffic on the road even though we are approaching a big holiday here in the U.S. (4th of July, our Independence Day). Some folks are being wise and staying home. We are not on vacation ourselves, simply moving to our other house for the summer.
We aren’t going to be doing much here. Maybe have one other couple over to social distance on our deck.
I went out on the deck to take a break from unpacking....Gosh I love this place.
As you can see it is a lovey day. Forty four degrees this morning and we will only reach seventy something as a high. This is our view to the south. That is Round Top mountain by the way.
- This it the view to the southwest....I focused on the mountain top so you could see that there is a tiny bit of snow left. That is T Mountain.
- Seems we have a new neighbor...I am speaking of this tiny little gray squirrel. He was not happy with me being on I guess what he thought was his deck. He was screeching at me nonstop.
- We are going to have to become acquainted so he understands that I live here and he is the guest!😂
Dearest Janey,
ReplyDeleteGlad you arrived safely and yes, the social distancing took care of the traffic I guess.
Clever for packing your lunches and such so you could just move on.
Beautiful view indeed and perfectly cool weather.
We would have loved that temperature range when cleaning out our garage with the pressure washer and Clorox. It is tile floor so rather easy. Yesterday Pieter did part of the driveway and today another section. What a HUGE difference but it is killing hot at it.
ENJOY your summer and that squirrel will start to appreciate you and there are ways for winning him/her over.
Hugs,
Mariette
Today I edited the front matter and also approved of the cover visuals. So it is slowly moving towards the final thing before having it printed.
Happy 4th of July weekend 🇺🇸
Glad you made it safely. Now rest and enjoy your views and weather. The wildflowers are starting to bloom around Breckenridge.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to know that you have both arrived safely. I am sure that you must feel a sense of relief being up in the good clean air of the mountains and away from any wretched virus droplets.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your stay.
Glad to hear from you arriving safe at your destination. Must feel great to have another surroundings with mountains around! Have a nice time!
ReplyDeleteWonderful views!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you arrived safely. I've been thinking about taking one or two one day road trips so I enjoyed hearing how you handled the social distancing. Your view is simply stunning. What a great place to just relax and enjoy the fresh air. I hope you have the little squirrel trained by now!
