We came across beautiful waving crops. "Drew, what is this?". He looked at me inquisitively, and replied "Honey, that's wheat.". I realized I'd never seen wheat fields before. Boy, did I feel naïve! Having been born and raised in southern California, it's not something you see there.
Our friends in the trees bring in the new day with their lovely songs. The trees are calm, there are clouds in the sky and we are ready for the next best day ever! I'm getting pretty good at this oatmeal thing and I think I could probably write a cookbook on all the different things you can put in it to change things up! lol!
Today's lesson is brought to you by mosquitoes: it doesn't matter how big you are, if you're persistent and obnoxious, you can motivate others. And that they did. Once outside the tent, Drew and I broke camp in record time!
Unscripted. That's how we roll and today was a great example. Another fantastic day with some surprises!
The sound of a hummingbird. Once you know it's distinct chirp, you can easily identify it. At 4 am, several were visiting the trees around our tent. What an incredible way to wake up!
Our night was so peaceful. Feeling rested, we were up just past 5. The forecast for the day included wind and temps in the nineties so we thought it might be a good idea to get up and rolling early!
