So much rain, much warmer, and a fun happy hour meeting new people.

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
the falls are roaring as you can see
       We had lotsa rain and wind overnight until about 6 am today. But not so bad by 7 am a comfortable 48F (8C) headed out for my first walkabout around the park and across the road to Rock Glen Falls. We could hear the roaring of the roaring water right here and even inside our coach.       
the mist in the air was like wow
just before the falls the river was raging
the road into the park flooded
not passable
you can see our coach from the falls
oh we did get to see a sunrise as well
          A bit later took a drive to Forest for a few groceries and stopped at the reservation to gas up the car. A good price there $1.20 a litre ($4.53 a US Gallon) compared to $1.31 ($4.95 a US gallon) elsewhere.
        Before I left I took some twigs off our engine battery the robins are still making a nest, less the 2 hours latter lots more twigs, these guys just won't give up. Guess they are bird brains?
less than 2 hours they had this done
we don't want a nest here when we leave on Friday
    After lunch a got a few more walkabouts done 3 miles so far today and found it quite warm. Got my chair out and enjoyed some wonderful reading outside. Look at the temperature below. And does feel like 75F (23C) gotta love it .
     Enjoyed this wonderful weather until 2:30 then time for Happy Hour at Ron and Loree's. Thats just fine inside their place and started to rain anyway. We were greeted by Freddie all excited as usual then he soon settles down once he has said Hello to everyone.
Freddie  greeted us as always
so excited 
he gets a few treats from Suzie and does as he was told such a
wonderful dog, and Suzie got her doggie fix too.
       3 more people joined us as well first was Dave we met before a couple of times, He has an amazing collection of kites, flies them and even goes to competitions.
Dave the kite guy
these are pictures of some of his awesome kites
     Also met another couple as well new to this park Eddie and Annette another supper friendly couple. I met Eddie the day we checked in while I was filling our coach with water.
Eddie and Annette
      And as usual the conversation just flowed. Got to know each other better. and before we knew it was 4:30. Time for us to head home and whip up supper. Amazing how the time flies when we are having  fun.
Ron and Loree
happy hour snacks were too tasty
Freddie loves to have company and relaxes right in the middle
      Back home for Supper I whipped up a salad and heated up some of our left over Lasagna  and froze that much again. 2 days in a row was enough for us. With the tortillas instead of noodles was not quite as filling but all the cheese I put in was like wow!
another very tasty supper
    After supper still a wonderful day so got our chairs out again. works on this posting and we read for a while. Just after 7 pm still 67 F out here and I am going to post this so I can get back into my page turner. Sunset not for over an hour yet and if we get one I will post it tomorrow.
    Thanks for joining us today and hope y'all had wonderful warm spring day as well.

  2. I very much enjoy reading about your days. Thank you. I have a habit of looking at photoblogs last thing at night before I go to bed, and always breathe a sigh of relief when I've read yours. Interesting and calm and reliable. Thanks again.

  8. Wow that river, and the falls, are really flowing! Our creek is starting to move faster and we can hear it when we are outside but the falls are up in the hills so it is a hike to see them.

  10. I remember the first pictures you posted of the falls and the bridge...what a comparison to the way they look now...but beautiful by any account.

    I do not know what Suzie has that dogs gravitate to her but it is a gift. That happy hour spread looks good. You have a lot of friends and make more daily. Glad warm temperatures are slowly but surely headed your way.
