This Coach Be Rockin’ !!!!

This morning started out with beautiful blue skies and just the hint of a breeze.  Russ even dressed in his desert outfit today!




We took a walk to the pond and saw at least one other Oregon duck…but he was camera shy.  The water in the pond is completely clear and we could see little fish swimming around in there.



Another visit to the dog park where Poppy continued to amaze us.  She was very well behaved and actually sniffed noses with a couple of little dogs.  She loves this park and it is large enough where she doesn’t feel threatened by the other dogs.

THEN…things begin to change.  First the clouds rolled in.

 

And then the winds started blowing.  Wasn’t too bad at first but by afternoon the winds were howling and the coach was being buffeted from side to side.  We were in for a wild ride for a few hours.  Of course Poppy did not like that at all and begged us to make it stop.  Here’s a few seconds of video of what we were experiencing today.

It seems to have quieted down some for now but the weather report issued a severe weather alert for winds until midnight.  Actually, I found it somewhat refreshing and it kept the temperatures down.  I finally had to close the door and windows because I was getting downright chilly.  Tomorrow promises to be less wind and mild temperatures.  Just right.

Look how the wind is blowing these palm trees.




Other than listening to the wind, and feeling the coach rock and roll, we spent the day just relaxing.  Made a quick run to the grocery store then sat around and read books and played on the computer.  NICE!!  Good night all.
