Waiting in Wellington

We are staying here until Sunday or Monday.  We are on the edges of a variety of nasty severe weather.  Currently it is snowing/blizzards north of us, severe thunderstorms and tornadoes east and southeast of us, and a huge wildfire south of us in Oklahoma near the border.  We are hot and sunny here with a 30 to 38 mph wind.  We are watching the weather channel.  There is a T-shirt in the campground office with a little dog that says "Dear Dorothy can't take the tornados, gone home, took the red shoes".  


Tree blooming.

Kirk has been having more close encounters with the wildlife.


Checking out the pond.


What's that?


This bullfrog is at least 6 inches long sitting.


One jumped about 10 feet, drives Kirk crazy.



Hmm


Closer


Kirk can't believe I'm not going for it.




He's getting away!


These guys are big.

You can catch & release fish in the pond.  There are little trout and these big catfish.  But really, why would I want to handle a big cat like that!  Great fun if you had kids with you though.  Kirk and I stood on the dock watching the fish for quite awhile as they came in to feed in the 6 inches of weedy water along the dock.  Whenever we go for a walk, Kirk is pulling for the pond.
