Packing up

for the camping trip.
I am always astounded at the amount of stuff you haul into the woods.
"We're getting away from it all..living simply for a few days!" you say, as you stuff everything you own into duffle bags.
Spare bulb for the refrigerator?  Might need one!
Remote control belonging to a tv that broke in 1993?  You might need that.
If you think I'm kidding, look up camping checklists online.
I thought I was bad.

The weather looks great..40 at night and low 60s during the day.  With any luck, our campsite will be on the lake.  If not, there are some gorgeous sites deep in the big woods.
Win, either way!

You have to appreciate good dogs :)
 I don't have good dogs.  My dogs have been barking for 3 days.  Neighbor (nice one) is getting a new roof and my hell hounds don't approve of the noises.  They spent most of yesterday watching the woods for invading Roofers.




Pig only cared about leftover watermelon.
Which, of course, she carried out of the field to eat in the front yard.
Sigh.

    i love how pig insists on eating in front of you! like she'd feel bad if she didn't relish the treats you provide her IN YOUR FACE! :)

    Hope the weather is good for your trip. If not, you've probably packed an umbrella, rain gear, hip waders, a wide brimmed hat, a tent with a big rain fly, plenty of fuel for your camp stove....

    I have a feeling pig will be waiting for you with open mouth.

    Have a good trip!

    I think Pig wants to be photographed. She's hoping to have a book published about her!

    Have a great time camping! Pig just wants to make sure that you know when her treats are all gone, so that you can bring her more.

    Have fun camping! Did you remember the kitchen sink too, LOL!

    The dogs are so funny sitting there waiting for something... anything... to happen! They're so pretty!

    I think Pig likes you! She's obviously very grateful for all the goodies!

    I'm still laughing over your freaky neighbor. Funny, funny blog!

    Glad we got to see your guard dogs. Good lookin' bunch!

    And then there's the pig, again. I'm waiting for the day when there's a pigless post. Or a photo when she's NOT eating. Can't she do a trick or something? :-)

    Have fun camping! Don't forget the VCR and Walkman. LOL

    At least they focus on SOMETHING! Moon and Copper run along the fence near our creek, escorting strangers up the gravel road...how the heck do they know that's not a car that belongs here is beyond me!...:)JP
