On the Way to Somewhere Warm!

Although I am not 100% sure where I'm headed I'm leaving in the morning! To heck with this cold windy spring...I'm outta here! I've been freezing since Labor Day so I am def headed south then west...eventually ending up in (hopefully by then the warm) dry mesa regions of Colorado where my family lives.  The pollen is thick after a few days of rain and now the wind.
<------my pollen covered windshield. 

Updating may or may not happen as I no longer have a MiFi hotspot, but I now have a tiny little smart phone with a tiny little bit of data.  I'm sure it's much smarter than I am...so If I can just learn how to use it and of course that all depends on whether there is a signal where I am-- Probably NOT as I always tend to go off the grid pretty much...I have to learn how to take a photo and how to put it on my blog with this phone that is sometimes a camera..it would be better than nothing I reckon.  I have learned and did a trial run using ebird's Android app...it was easy except for my fingers hitting the wrong key. 

My trusty Panasonic is still hanging in there...I hope if I drop it again, it is to the other side and it may correct it's self? All the trouble is on the left side which means it blurs the left side of the photo..I have to try and get my subject on the right side and that will be the good side...then all is well...duh. 

All the dogs are gonna be tagging along, so I'm sure I'll be a frazzled dog hair covered  wreck by the time it's all said and done...lol They will have a blast! I on the other hand will be worn out from driving and they will be rearing to go for a long walk.  I need a robot, why don't they make a dog sitting and walking robot,,,we need that more than one that vacuums the floor! They watched me load the van today and they have positioned themselves between the  house and the gate so there is no sneaking out...

All the tools in my life are put away and getting a well deserved rest...The fireplace is cleaned out and lined with cedar boughs and pine cones, and a piece of fat lighter full of aromatic pine sap to make the smell of wood smoke go away. I hope it's all just where I left it when I return...and I hope these guys ^^ don't over run everything...and the yard birds will be successful in nesting and our summer birds will be here when I make it back...the dogwood is thinking of opening but my pepper plant I thought would be okay on the porch succumbed to the hard freeze 23 F we had last night! I did not watch the weather man but I thought he said 37...my bad!

See what I mean right side focused!

I hope to add to my bird list, and add some new never seen before landscapes to my memory banks, fill up my Flickr photo account with hundreds of photos that I will mislabel and probably never get back to correct... and add a new chapter to My Life My Art, My Journey.  I will catch up with your blogs when I get internet service.  Maybe I will find some free wifi somewhere along the way like I found in Canada, that was a treat.  

I can tell you one thing...I will NOT be going through Atlanta, Georgia! Or St. Louis Missouri! I have sworn off both of those nightmare Traffic Jam cities, I am headed in the direction of South GA, (the dreaded I-95) the Northern Panhandle of FL, Middle TX, and into AZ!  Jo If I get close I will message you! 

All places where I expect to find warmth!! Shorts n flipflops here I come. 

Until we meet again...arrivederci!

PEACE

Every day is a new Adventure.
