Looks like we will be having staycations again this summer.

 

We have the camper set up in a beautiful little wooded area behind the farm, and our tents are set up in pretty much the same spots as last year:  in our backyard.

Had to get a new screen tent this year because the sun's UV rays destroyed the roof on our other one.

This is a Gazelle 6 sided pop up portable gazebo:

This is my Core camping tent from last year.  The sun destroyed the roof on it, too.  But Core sent me a replacement roof:

The Core's partition curtain allows you to separate the sleeping section

from the living quarters:

I cut some dead limbs out in a little pine/spruce grove to create some

room for the tent and provide a view

Now, the tent sits in a cozy SHADED little woodsy spot:

Spent my first night in the tent and it was amazing. :D

Here is where we parked the camper:

Nice shaded area just a short walk from our house (even shorter drive).    We have hot and cold running water, a gas range, lights, fans, a functioning bathroom with a shower.   All the comforts of home. :D

And a lovely view of one of the hay fields. :D

I'm sure we will be enjoying our time in the camper this summer.  Also, a great place to send Unvaccinated visitors to the farm. :D

Forgot that the camper also has a refrigerator. :D 

 

We will be able to watch the wildlife from one window

And watch for hay customers out one of the other windows

So we're all set. :D

My hubby bought some marble looking cookie sheets to cover the stove and sink, to make more countertop space.   :D

I'm loving the screened gazebo. I've just been thinking about getting one. I also need a new camp stove but am deliberating on getting a collapsible propane flat top cooktop. Wayfair has them for good prices. I love outdoor living, as much as I can on the pacific ocean. I'm also spying an outdoor propane heater. We'll see. I'm trying to stay focused on purchasing things that could be used after GT, just in case the power grid goes off for a while.

Spent last night in the camper.

Woke up to a hazy grey day.  So I sat in the camper, sipping my coffee and staring into the little infrared fireplace heater's fake flames. :D

 

Oh...and, enjoying

 the views out the various windows.
