Mittry Lake

Yuma, Arizona

Yuma was bothered by something last night.  He slept most of the night on the floor.  He does that when he is scared.  May have been noises from the Yuma Proving Ground close by that bothered him.

We got up at 8:30 and decided to go into Yuma early to the Walmart to do our shopping.  Yuma came along too.  He didn't want to stay here by himself.

Got to Walmart around 9:30 and the place was still very crowded but manageable.  Did my shopping as quickly as I could and I was surprised I found everything I needed.  

I overdid the meat buying.  I've never bought meat, Dolly always had that job, so probably made a few mistakes in that department.  Oh well, Yuma is not particular.  We were back to our lakeside villa by 11:30 and ready for breakfast.

Today was a day of rest and just walking around our new surroundings.  Hopefully, Yuma becomes accustomed to our new home.  

Looking from our door to the South towards Yuma.

  Told Yuma it was steep going down to the canal but,

 he went down to inspect anyway.  He actually walked in the water, but I didn't catch that before he bounded back up.  The canal runs North/South and separates the Mittry Lake area from Yuma Proving Grounds.

Looking to the Northwest.

 
While I was sitting outside under a blanket reading blogs, I heard noises and when I looked up, Yuma was gone.  He had met a new friend walking down the road.  His name is Jeb and was four years old and as sweet as could be.  

Another shot to the South with less zoom.

Yuma checking out the lake looking for coyotes.

And the wash down below the RV.

Mittry Lake must not be well known in the Yuma area.  Elva commented this morning she has lived in Yuma all her life and has not heard of this lake.

I see a palm tree in the distance.

 We had a nice day.  The skies were blue and in the 60s.  Can't ask for more than that on Christmas Eve.

Have a Merry Christmas tomorrow everyone, wherever you may be.

See you later.
