Ruby Tuesday



As I shopped today I looked for Reds, Lots of reds. Not a lot out there yet. Unless you want photos of cars or buildings. Na not me either.

As you know, Fall is upon us and I can barely wait until the trees on Victor turn their glorious reds. Today I was not so blessed. It will come, when it is time.
Suddenly I saw these two trees against a perfect blue sky. Too bad it was not in the country but you take what you can get when you get it.

Hope you enjoy the tree show but you must hear about this latest Ruby Red I saw.

I decided to check out the motor home for needed caulking. It is old, 1978 American Clipper. It is in great shape. New carpets, etc. (could use some work on the compressor but we camp in the cold anyway.)

So as I checked the escape hatch, above the bed. I noticed the surrounding plastic was crumbling. As I further inspected the plastic broke off in my hands.
Well good thing I checked.

Today I made my way to California RV and bought a new cover. (the rains will be here in about a week, We Hope.

Seems It Never Rains In Southern (Northern) California ...

It never rains in California

But girl, don't they warn ya It pours man it pours. ...

girl let me warn you, When it pours,Lord it pours"


As I began putting the new one on I realized I had to do some maneuvering. David can not work well in tight spaces so it is up to me. I really like doing odd jobs. Good thing, don't you think?

As I am standing on the bed, with my upper body out of the hatch, I realized I had a problem. I could not get the roller into the slot to raise and lower the hatch without removing the handle. Darn, I thought.

As I looked at the escape hatch latch, (say that fast). I realized it was Red, Now if only I had my camera.
There was no way I was crawling out, walking back to the house, climb back up and take a photo. You just have to take my word for it.

Oh yes, the hatch is now fixed and I stood on the bed, dancing,singing, "I did it I did it, I fixed the hatch, latch, cover." ( I might add, installed a new hatch cover in the process.) :)

I wish I knew how to refer to the original post. A lady that started this Ruby Tuesday posting. I love doing this but need to give her credit.

Hi Sue,

Beautiful red trees! The lady that does the Ruby Tuesday posts is at- Work of the Poet. Her link is in my ruby post, and I can't remember it right off. But where I have the "teach" in my post, that is highlighted and will take you to her blog.

Well, it's raining here this morning, and my son will be here tonight for the weekend, to do some of the chores around here I can't do. I can't believe it's Thursday already. Time is trotting by at a pretty high speed these days.

Take care and have a good day.

Hugs,

Renie

Sue these are beautiful trees, I love the fall for its beautiful colors. I will be glad when my bradford pear trees gets big, they are the prettiest trees. The Sweet Gum have a beautiful color also, blending of all colors.
