Oyster Mushroom, choice edible
After the Barter Fair I enjoyed fall mushroom gathering in southwest Oregon before resuming my gypsy life. There isn’t a side dish any better than sautéed wild mushrooms. But just like any wild edible, know what you’re eating.
Colleen & Dave’s 1954 Sears kit-cabin
The monthly gathering of the Domino Dames fell on Halloween where we gathered at Colleen’s for a full day of eating, drinking and playing Mexican Train Dominoes.
Arizona desert
As the temperatures began to drop in Oregon I felt the draw of the southern desert and returned to Yarnell to park where I had the previous winter.
Little house/garage
On the property where I park there is a little house, actually a partially converted garage. So Berta and I set up a bunch of tables inside and put out stuff to sell. About once a month, when we felt like it, we’d put up signs and have a garage sale. Both of us are notorious collectors, so once in a while have to high grade to make room.
Set up to sell
This was the first winter I actually got a land-line telephone and went online with dial-up. Believe me, it was a giant step. And as you all know, the internet is addictive, and I didn’t even know what a blog was. Yet I spent a lot of time sitting at my computer and looking out the window at the birds…
Gambel’s Quail
…and other wildlife.
Mule deer
Towards the end of March I hooked up the 5th-wheel and went to sell my jewelry at the Deming, New Mexico Gem and Mineral Show. Sold a little, bought more, and had a great time with rock people.
My booth
As spring arrived I camped in the desert knowing that this winter of fun was almost over and I’d soon be moving on once again.
