Looks like a couple more cold sunny days in store for the Wallowa Valley...Possible snow in the forecast and a bit warmer but not much...Looks like a good forecast for the annual dogsled races starting on Wednesday the 23rd...Some years have been plagued with warming temps, rain, slush and other years have been blizzard conditions...These mushers and dogs are a hearty breed as they are in training and trying to qualify for the "Iditarod"...Joseph Community Center will be "Race Central" and Joseph's main street will be host to a meet and greet of the mushers and their dogs for children and adults of all ages.
Yesterday was a relaxed day for me, Herb was off with John gathering horses and mules from the winter pasture...They made two round trips bringing in 15 head of stock, left at 10am and arrived home at 6pm where I had dinner cooked and ready for the table...They were two hungry guys and finished off large plates of roast pork, mashed potatoes, sliced carrots and warm bread...John and Tate were soon on their way home and Herb and I in bed by 9pm.
We had messages from Portland where Ci (after having been sick all week) was able to participate with her robotics team at the state competition and garnered a 4th place...Theirs was one of the few all girl teams to take part...So proud of "That Girl".
Rusty at home in Bend will be heading to Joseph by the weekend and looks forward to helping with the next major canning project...Four turkeys in the freezer are ready to be canned or jarred, I guess is the proper term.
I have book group this morning, maybe a stop at Soroptomists and home to write on my monthly essay....Hugs To All...OWAV:)
