It is hard to understand where the days go. We have been here at the Yogi Bear Campground a month already. The campground is fairly large with 60 cabins and about 100 sites. It is a waterpark, with a petting zoo and a fishing lake.
I work about 9 hours a week, mostly cleaning cabins, but sometimes we do yard work. One day our group picked up almost 6,000 pine cones. That's a lot of cones. Another day, I got to plant flowers, which you know I totally enjoyed.
The campground is surrounded with ponderosa pines. Tall and majestic, they dance in the wind. There are many birds here, big blue jays, bright red cardinals, hawks and white egrets. Dakota chases the red squirrels. There is also red ants, don't want to play with them!
At night, the stars shine as we sit with friends around the campfire. Our friends Donna and Tom are the king and Queen of the weinie roast. We can see the glow of Houston's lights reflected in the clouds. We watch the airplanes coming and going.
Waller is a rural area, mostly cattle ranches. There is a big college nearby, Prairie View Texas A & M. We have to drive 8 miles to a food store, but that is ok. About 20 miles is Cyress, which is suburb Houston, with malls etc.
So we are having fun, it is relaxing. Although lately I've been writing at the computer, which was the reason for the trip, after all.
