I was awake at 4am...have scrabble games finished, surfed the web...perused face book and now on to the blog of the day...the sun now illuminating the Wallowa Mountain range to the southwest, casting a purple then pink glow above the iridescent greens of the valley below... This lasts for a brief few minutes and is one of the most beautiful views of the day...An incredible way to start my morning...I watch a herd of deer graze their way through the field of peas located behind our house.
Yesterday was a fun day with Angie and Pat...We started at 8:30 with a yard sale on the west side of Wallowa Lake, then made a beeline for Wallowa to their city yard sale...Picked up a map at the local grocery store, and with Angie as co-pilot we shopped at the 33 yard sales city wide...two hours later, the car loaded with cabinets, one large pink pony, and a red dress for dancing, we changed directions.
Pat parked the car in a grassy field and we wandered through the concession booths at the Tamkaliks Indian gathering...Missed the Indian dancing as they were ready to break for the lunch hour...So we started home with our treasures, taking the scenic road out of Wallowa and stopping at two more yard sales on our way home.
I joined Herb and Rusty on our deck for a couple of hours, chatted with Bobi and Ci until the connection, disconnected...Cienna had good times at her swim meet and will start on her fifty hours of volunteer time to complete her "Junior lifeguard training" this week...An exciting time for her.
I cooked another pot of peas and potatoes to take to J & B's where Rusty, using their Traeger grill, bbq'd salmon and chicken thighs for our dinner...Later John started a fire in their fire pit while we slurped root beer floats and swatted mosquitoes as the sun dipped behind the mountains and the temperature started dropping, ending another day in Wallowa County.
Today Rusty will leave for Bend, then take a redeye flight to New Jersey on Tuesday, arriving there early morning just in time to unload the containers coming from Austria to start their latest job...He is still not feeling well with stomach upset etc., will try to get into a Doctor or emergency care before leaving Bend, hopefully with medication...Another day on Barton Heights~OWAV:)
