July 18-20 fourth of four posts
With the onset of the monsoon, fire restrictions had been lifted in the national forests and we felt comfortable having a fire, which made Gerald very happy. He was, however, mortally wounded when Christy called to ask if she should pick up some fire starter logs for him. "Fire starter logs?" he said in a wounded tone. "I was a Boy Scout, you know. "Fire starter logs," he said shaking his head after he hung up. "The very idea."
Monsoon season also mean there were clouds in the sky, which made for another beautiful sunset.
Friday night was also a full moon. The moon was just cresting the ridge line when we fell asleep, but it was still up when I got up on Saturday morning.
Dawn was lovely.
Sunday morning looked a little different. We woke up to the drum of rain on the canvas pop-outs. It was a gentle rain, though, and still pleasant for my morning walk. It was still raining when I left for church and we had begun to think the ends of the trailer would be too wet to fold up. Fortunately, the rain stopped and everything dried, and we were on the road back home by 2 p.m.
