What a Glorious Morning

We had a huge storm last night at the Rifle River Recreation Area. I love thunder and lightening storms in the trailer!

Instead of having lunch we had our strawberry spinach salad while the chili was heating up. Marizetti's dressing in the bottom. Sliced strawberries past the dressing (so the spinach doesn't touch the dressing, so it won't wilt). Sliced green onions and then packed to the top with spinach. One container of strawberries and one of spinach made two mason jars. We ate one last night and will have the other today. It was delicious!

Chili in the crockpot last night. Prepared at home and stored in a crockpot liner in a ziploc container. Put the liner in the crockpot and an hour later the chili was ready. No cleanup!

It was too hot for a fire last night so we had a great one this morning. We saw a scarlet tananger at the campsite but when I got the camera it was up in the tree hidden by leaves. I played the identifier a couple of times and it answered me.

We went for a ride this morning. Pat stopped the van every 1/4 mile to move limbs out of the road from the storm. No eagles in the nest but a glorious view from the tower.
