Monday and Tuesday mornings were a pleasant surprise as sun and blue sky spread over the Wallowa Valley...The Eagle Caps covered in fresh snow were illuminated by the sun...Temperatures in the 50's allowed us to take walks and while I puttered around the flower beds, Herb was busy trimming bushes/trees and cleaning the irrigation ditch of last falls leaf crop...We look forward every spring for the water to fill the little ditch one more year...It runs along side our bedroom windows, lulling us to sleeps on the warmish summer nights...Living so close to the mountains, our nights seldom get stifling hot, usually cooling down for a good nights sleep...With the ditch water we are able to irrigate our almost acre of lawn, gardens and pasture.
Today looks more like the forecast with dark clouds overhead and rain fall overnight...I hear the birds singing as they flit through the trees and think that is a sign of at least partial sun later today...Inside chores are again calling me, meals to be planned and cooked, with maybe a walk in the afternoon...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
PS...I found a few bare spots in the flower beds a few days ago and decided that more oriental poppies would be a good choice to fill in...An order has been sent for new poppies, they will be similar to the photos below...I can hardly wait...😀
