We are in Moyers, Oklahoma on the Kiamichi River, mostly by ourselves. We were greeted by chickens when we arrived and they mostly got out of the way. No, we didn’t kill chickens. I’ve seen my grandmother kill chickens and it’s not something I ever intend to do. There’s a petting zoo here and I have seen a rabbit, goat and donkey.
This morning at 5:30 a.m., yes 5:30 a.m. Foghorn Leghorn crowed us awake. Do you know who Foghorn Leghorn is? I feel really old if you don’t. Google him. He was my favorite cartoon growing up, “I say, I say.” It was dark outside I couldn’t see anything. I got up and turned the heater up since fall finally decided to show up in Oklahoma. I had just about gotten back to sleep and ole Mr. Leghorn started again at 5:50 a.m. I thought to myself, surely that is it. Well no, 20 minutes later he was at it again. Now, don’t get me wrong, I like chickens and roosters but that was a tad too early for me. Plus once would have been enough, not three times. We’re here until Sunday, so I imagine I’ll get to enjoy the morning alarm for the next three days. We’re supposed to have rain so I’m hoping he’ll be inside and I won’t hear it as well. There was also the braying of the donkey but that was after I was up.
This is a nice campground and I imagine hopping in the summer. There’s a stage for bands, cabins including a tree house with a tree inside and lots of places to tent camp. The Kiamichi River is close but doesn’t seem to have much water right now. It’s been hot in Southern Oklahoma and not a lot of rain. We walked down to take a look this afternoon.
Tom got up on the roof of the trailer this afternoon and took off the cover of our bedroom air conditioner. We had some problems with it leaking in Tulsa but a repairman came out and fixed it. When we moved the trailer to Lake Eufaula it happened again. He’s talking with the manufacturer trying to get a fix. Thankfully we don’t need it right now so we have some time to get it taken care of. We’re going to have a 20 degrees temperature difference for a high tomorrow. We’re only expecting 60 degrees here. Tom said that will be good, I said I’m not so sure that will be good. It will be cooler for sure.
We took a trip into Antlers this afternoon to pick up some groceries for the next week. They had most of what we want but there were no items for vegetarians or vegans, which my daughter is. Thankfully she’s not here. To be honest, that seemed small town Oklahoma and not unexpected. Thankfully we had our Impossible burgers in the freezer already. I was just going to buy a couple of extra for chili. That will have to wait. I’m going to make chicken soup instead, which Tom says is not enough to eat for a meal. I think he’s wrong. We’re planning on hamburgers with our family next week in Arkansas so that’s why no chili.
We’ve had a blessed and quiet day. We’re hoping your days are blessed and quiet as well.
