Snow/Rain/Sunshine...32º

Typical spring weather for Wallowa County...In the space of a few hours, the temperature drops or raises several degrees, one minute we have snow, then sun, then rain...Never know if I should put on a coat to go outside or just a light jacket...These kind of days have me fixing comfort food.

I mixed a batch of no knead bread on Wednesday, then yesterday morning I shaped a loaf, let it warm up and baked it, while I chopped onions, carrots, celery and potatoes to add to the pork roast already cooking in the crockpot...I arrived home after water therapy to yummy smells coming from the kitchen...Our dinner was on the table in a matter of minutes.

Wednesday night/early morning, torrential rain fall to the north of us caused mudslides and flooding on the road to Lewiston, Idaho...Parts of the road were washed out and the road was closed for a few hours...It is now limited to one lane traffic, and from the photos, it looks like major construction will be needed this summer to repair the road...For those people not familiar with Joseph, OR and the surrounding area, there are only two roads leading out of Joseph in winter...North to Lewiston, ID and East to LaGrande, OR...Both are winding mountain roads, subject to rock/mud slides that can cut us off from the outside world...We appreciate the efforts of the local road crews that do a great job of maintaining these roads...Hugs To All...OWAV:)

Snow Flowers?
