With high temps and lots of humidity, I walked early-ish to the Celery Fields. The marshland, ponds, pools, and canals provided a surprise – sighting of a Purple Gallinule, a rare bird according to bird watchers who pointed it out to me. Hey, I even broke out my binoculars to see it! 

Upon returning to Addie and turning up the a/c, I relaxed for a bit – really, so hot and tired I couldn’t move!  Finally, I had lunch, drank lots of water, and headed to the pool. 

After dinner – note: the meals at this rally leave A LOT to be desired! – friends and I gathered in Addie to chat and share stories about our rigs, travel, life, etc. A very nice end to a terrific day! 🙂

 

 

 

 

I did NOT get a picture of the bird, so this is downloaded from the internet. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/…/Purple…/photo-gallery

 

With friends hanging out in Addie! 🙂
