Mushrooms...43º

Herb and I made our mostly annual trip to the local ski area "Fergie" yesterday...A little late for skiing you might ask?..After the snow melts on the south facing ridge it is a good place for hunting mushrooms...Notice I said hunting not finding mushrooms...Herb did luck out yesterday and found enough for us to sauté for breakfast this morning...A treat we always enjoy.

Speaking of "Fergie", many years ago we spent almost every winter weekend on the slopes of Fergie where we skied with friends making Wallowa County winters more enjoyable...Summers years ago found us at Wallowa Lake with our kids and boat where we water skied, sunbathed, swam and picnicked every weekend...Aaaah, the memories.

Yesterday "We 3" met at Amy's new home off of "Old Ski Run Road"...A park-like setting, her 10 acres on a slope give her a lovely view of Joseph and the surrounding area...The property is fenced, has it own horse arena and fits Amy and her two horses perfectly...Quiet and tranquil her small home is nestled among tall trees with a small fenced garden where fruit trees are blooming...Raised beds for veggies and a raspberry patch complete the garden space...We shared a potluck lunch and toasted to Amy's future as she continues to build her acupuncture business, starts an interim job at the Josephy Center and in her spare time rides and trains her horses.

Today will be spent mostly in the vegetable garden where potatoes, cabbage plants and assorted seeds are waiting to go into the ground...Also I hope it is safe on this first day of June to move starts from the greenhouse to the half barrels on the deck...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
