We were treated to a pretty sunset on our lastly eve at home.
Yesterday morning, I stitched plenty on the Sweet Land of Liberty slice that I decided to motility my hoop to embrace the lastly of it.
When I packed it for terminal take-off yesterday morning, it looked similar this:
As I'm writing this, I've had around to a greater extent than fourth dimension to sew on it, in addition to it's nearly finished. I'll receive got a finished film for yous real soon, I believe.
Just earlier taking off, I snapped a film of our maple tree inwards the far corner of our field. You tin lavatory encounter that it's simply starting to plough colors at the tippy top. It'll live fun to encounter how it looks when nosotros instruct habitation i calendar month from now.
We had a long get ahead, in addition to and then it was fourth dimension to instruct going. Here nosotros are, lock, stock, in addition to barrel.
We drove through the beautiful Columbia Gorge on our way to La Grande, Oregon, our common outset halt when nosotros caput east. It's the outset fourth dimension we've been this far due east since the devastating fires inwards 2017.
There were many burned areas, but surprisingly, the gorge is nevertheless quite green. It was mainly on the ridge occur where nosotros could encounter verbalise incineration. Nevertheless, in that place is plenty of greenish coming dorsum fifty-fifty inwards the burned areas.
Of course, nosotros saw around barns along the way.
And lots of grain silos. We're at the southern border of the Palouse here.
The wheat has been harvested, in addition to the hay has been cutting in addition to baled.
Here's something novel on the westward side of Pendleton, Oregon...a solar farm. There's also plenty of current of air unloose energy existence produced inwards this area.
When nosotros arrived inwards La Grande, the kitties were doing simply fine alongside their newly unconfined ride inwards the truck camper. They wasted no fourth dimension getting out to encounter what's what when Mike had the catio hung.
It was quite warm when nosotros arrived, in addition to nosotros ended upwards sitting on the far side of the camper where Mr. Smitty could bring together inwards the conversation.
There were around pretty cloud formations overhead.
We're staying at the same common where nosotros remain whenever nosotros achieve La Grande. It's an interesting expanse alongside hot springs in addition to an onetime resort that has gone through several iterations, including existence a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients inwards its history.
It's inwards the procedure of existence revitalized in addition to I believe they're straight off accepting guests. You tin lavatory read nigh the history of the expanse from this onetime weblog post.
When the Sun was lower inwards the heaven in addition to the temperature a lilliputian cooler, nosotros took a walk out toward the lake. Along the way, nosotros saw these guys.
Looking back, the RV common is equally busy equally I've always seen it. We commonly receive got the identify to ourselves. No doubt, the Labor Day weekend has them busier than usual. You tin lavatory encounter our rig almost smack inwards the middle of the icon below.
Gazing out across the lake, nosotros could encounter a snowy egret.
Here, Mike's shadow self was itching to play alongside Mike's novel toy...a drone.
When nosotros visited the Circles inwards the Sand this yesteryear summer, nosotros saw a guy alongside a drone that Mike nearly swooned over. I encouraged him to instruct i for this trip. I retrieve we're going to receive got fun alongside it. It folds upwards all compact in addition to everything fits inwards this non bad lilliputian backpack.
When it's opened upwards in addition to cook to fly, it looks similar this:
And hither nosotros go. Fly, lilliputian drone, fly!
It tin lavatory wing off clear out of sight, in addition to he tin lavatory proceed to command it from its command module.
From here, he tin lavatory encounter what the drone sees. He turned it dorsum toward us. There inwards the middle of the screen, circled inwards red, yous tin lavatory encounter us standing there.
So, that was fun.
The Sun had gone downward plenty that nosotros could motility to the awning side of the camper, in addition to nosotros could plough off the A/C in addition to opened upwards the door. The kitties similar to sit down at the enshroud door where they tin lavatory maintain an optic on all woofies.
We had dinner, in addition to watched the Sun set.
