I wish I could say "Spring has sprung," here in Wallowa County...To be honest, it is struggling as usual...We have had some warm rains, melting the snow, but still have snow banks, hanging on and the next week, snow showers are in the daily forecast...I have a few blooming crocus and windflowers and a few budding daffodils, in the sunnier parts of our flower beds...Spring will come, but we have to be patient and watch closely because it can be a fleeting thing...Luckily the school track is bare and dry and in between snow showers, we have resumed walking on a regular basis.
This week Herb and I dug the last of the overwintered carrots, another gallon bag full of scrubbed carrots are stored in the basement fridge for our eating enjoyment...While digging carrots, tiny shoots of garlic caught our eye and yes the ever faithful garlic, in only a few days of warmer temperatures, has grown inches!..In the garden I have a spot for sweet peas, so I gently loosened the soil, came directly into the house and put the sweet pea seed to soak...In a few days I will plant the seeds...All of these things are signs of spring and we celebrate the moment.

Yesterday Pam and I had haircuts scheduled in La Grande, the roads were bare and dry, temperatures warm, with a few misty rain showers...We shopped before haircuts, ate Thai food in the newly renovated underground in La Grande and shopped some more before ending our 10 hour day, back in Wallowa County...It has become a day to look forward to...Actually we have another getaway today, as we join friends and journey to the "Elgin Opera House," for the play "Mamma Mia."...The play has almost sold out for all performances and has added another full weekend in May so more people can enjoy the show...I always think it would be fun to see a second performance but so far we haven't done that, maybe this time?..Hugs To All...OWAV:)
