Bob is stuck

Bob does the mowing here at the campground.  He got stuck going across a shallow ditch--not in the mud but hung up with no traction.  

So Howard brought his jeep and a chain--

and he was quickly pulled out!

It will be another hot day, a good day for a nap.  All the campers stay inside on days like today.  Lori1R at the Campground Workhouse

Tuesday

Its going to be hot--106F is the forecast.  😳  Pray the air conditioners keep up!

This weekend was the Pow Wow in Fort Thompson.  We celebrated by eating Indian Tacos--

I LOVE Indian Tacos!

The zinnias are blooming, I love zinnias and they never disappoint, they grow even in poor soil.

And the morning glory's are blooming, I have several varieties, I think this one is Carnival--

And the purple are Grandpa Ott and the blue are Heavenly Blue.

More wash cloths are being made, they keep my hands busy.  Lori1R at the Workhouse on the River

Wednesday and we're SMOKING!!

Should be the "slow" day this week, but its going to busy on the weekend.  Pow Wow here at Fort Thompson and last weekend the Pow Wow was at Lower Brule. (we are in the middle between them.)  LOTS of people!  We're going to smoke ribs--they are marinating with the rub on them.  A new smoker was bought on the advice of our neighbor Chad who kept sending me pictures of his efforts--

Doesn't that look delicious??  Chad and Allison raised the chickens last year, see how plump they are??  The smoker/grill we bought is a Pit Boss Lexington pellet grill/smoker.  Still experimenting with it but its been good so far.

This was on the railing of the booth--he was a handsome specimen!  

Time to get back to work!  Lori1R at the Campground Workhouse

Soggy Saturday

 So far 2.5" of rain and more showers forecast for today.  70F and overcast--feels good after its been so hot.  Bob the Mower Man was worried he'd have nothing to do but the grass will grow fast now.

No sewing happening, most my day is spent working.  When I have slow bits of time I crochet.  Nothing fancy--

So far +20 wash cloths--the diamond design just happened, I think its called "pooling".  Wash cloths are small and easily dropped and picked up again.  A simple pattern that makes a dense wash cloth.  All triggered by DD getting ready for work and no clean wash cloths, so DD used a SOCK.  Teehee, I asked if it was a clean sock, and she said "OF COURSE IT WAS A CLEAN SOCK!!"  I am using a 100% cotton yarn.  Not pretty but utilitarian.  Crocheting when its slow hopefully to keep from eating peanut butter M&Ms.  Lori1R at the Campground on the River

Still Here

I'm still here.  Still working each summer at the campground but last winter we were in New Mexico.  Not as much time to sew but I manage to keep busy!  No garden but I am growing flowers in pots.

This was earlier this spring--

And today--

The dahlias are blooming like crazy.  

I planted zinnias and different morning glories as they are very hardy.  A bag of glad bulbs on clearance were tossed in the pots, this is the first one to bloom--

I hope to blog more often but working 7 days a week from April 30th to October 1st means there isn't always something to blog about.  Lori1R at the Campground in Central South Dakota
