Houston County

First day and I'm about 6 hours up the road in Fort Valley, GA. Two years ago when I bought my first RV, I joined Harvest Hosts which is a membership club of thousands of farms, breweries, wineries and golf resorts that allow members to park on their property, visit with them for a small purchase or participation in the products they offer. Today is my first time using my membership.

I arrived at Lane's Orchards and will stay the night here. It's Easter, so of course they are closed. At the moment I am the only one here. It's very beautiful. Acres and acres of peach trees. The leaves of the peach trees are the brightest green of spring. There are strawberry fields, old tractors on display, and a cute little playground. It's starting to rain. Tomorrow morning the shop and diner open at 9 am, so I hope to go in and buy something, maybe some peach wine or peach cobbler.

As the rain gets heavier. The winds have picked up. The van rocks back and forth. So I close the door and the west facing window and lock up for the night. It's only 5 pm. I'm enjoying some red wine, smoked gouda and crackers and trying to decide what I want to cook for dinner tonight. Before the rain started, I had thought I might grill outside under the pavilion so as not to heat up the van. I'm going to try not to run the AC, so I save my lithium battery charge. But now I will reconsider dinner plans and perhaps go back to the original plan of making Spaghetti. As the rain comes down hard I'm thinking I will turn the van windshield wipers on to clean off the remains of the bugs that were sacrificed at the expense of my ventures.

Tonight besides eating, I am planning to get online and process payroll. Yes, I still have to do some work on this trip.

In the resurrection spirit of this day, here's to new beginnings, renewed life and rebirth.
