Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

Establishing a Routine

 

We have been in our spot for a week now.  Time goes quickly when there is no agenda.  We don’t wear our watches and really go by the sun.  Up early and to bed early.  We have not set up the TV for satellite and we both agree that we do not miss it.  We have the sirius radio, which gives us all the news.

Gary spent the weekend getting us hooked up to the Hughes Internet Satellite .  It was very time consuming but the tenacious geekster had it accomplished by Sunday afternoon.  There was great celebration.

Later that afternoon, we had a potluck with our group to celebrate Betty’s birthday with a campfire after .

potluck

 

I brought one of my flower pots of geraniums with me and then have added to it.  Sitting on the patio, a little hummingbird came buzzing by  for an instant.  So of course I rushed to get the feeder up and have not seen one since then.  But will keep it out just in case.

Gary heads out first thing in the morning and does some dry washing ie shovels full of dirt and rocks into a machine that separates the rocks from the dirt.  Then brings the dirt back and pans it out.  He has been getting fine gold with every pan so at least not getting skunked.

I have been taking a walk, which is no small feat as the roads or should I say paths are very rocky.  Then a few chores notice the key word is FEW and read or ride the quad.  What a life!!

We took a nice long ride on the side by side.  Found an area with a few Joshua trees.

The riding is forever.

 

We are making a move tomorrow to the Taft Claim, which is 10 miles to the West and another dirt/rock road 1 mile off the highway.  Will update after tomorrow.
