Sunday Dinner, October 4, 2009 & Camping Pics

I'm typing this post on Friday evening because my sister Donna and I are leaving Saturday morning to go camping again.

I have no idea what I'll be having for Sunday Dinner this week, but I have pics of last week's Sunday Dinner in the camping pics that are coming up next.

Feel free to share your Sunday Dinner plans/menu in the comments. Even though I won't be here to participate until it's all over, I know many of my readers enjoy checking out all the menus that others share.

We'll be going back to Gunner Pool to camp overnight Saturday night, then back home on Sunday afternoon. The weather is almost perfect for camping right now so we're taking advantage of it while we can.

So much of the year the weather is "too". Too hot, too cold, too wet, too something. Or we're just too busy to get away. But right now we're enjoying some of Arkansas' best weather and we want to make hay while the sun shines, as it were.

Fall in Arkansas can be just magical, and last weekend and this coming weekend are good examples. The highs are hovering around 70F and the lows are around 45F-50F.

Rain is forecast to move in on Sunday afternoon, so we may have to break camp in a hurry to keep the tent and our stuff dry, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.Now, pictures from last week's camping trip.....

A view of the road in front of us, driving into Batesville...You can't get much more Fall-like than this load of bright orange pumpkins, gourds and corn stalks.My Saturday supper plate: Fried potatoes, roasted hot dog and bacon, all cooked on an open wood fire. I brought some hickory wood from home and the rest of our firewood was limbs and dead falls gathered from around our campsite.Donna was beginning to feel the chill and stayed pretty close to the fire until we went into the tent for the night around 9 pm. We're real party-ers, we are.Another pic of our campfire.Mid morning, bright blue cloudless sky and sunlit tree near our campsite.Biscuits in Donna's cast iron skillet.Biscuits warming by the fire while the rest of our breakfast finishes cooking: bacon and sausage and hot coffee perked over the fire.My brunch plate, which was also my Sunday Dinner: Biscuits, sausage and bacon. Might not have been the healthiest meal I had last week, but it sure was good!Scenes from the ride home.....This last picture was taken at a little town called Oil Trough on the Black River. I thought the river was pretty framed by the ivy draped trees.Well, I still have things to do before bedtime, so I'll get this posted.

Y'all have a wonderful weekend doing something you enjoy with people you love. May God meet all your needs and may you have enough to share.
