Road Trip...41º

Greeting

Pat has a dental appointment in Walla Walla today, rescheduled from a month ago when a winter storm made traveling a little iffy...Today looks like partly cloudy, maybe rain showers and Walla Walla should be ablaze with trees in bloom...I love going to WW or lewiston this time of year...Their season is about a month ahead of us and I can bask in the colors and smells and know that spring is on its way here in Wallowa County...It will be a fun-filled day, lots of conversation, laughs and shopping.

Yesterday I planted yellow and purple onion sets, bought on half price sale...Also planted pansies in a wooden planter on the deck for a color-spot as you come in the back door...Over the weekend I must get more new peonies planted and do some cleanup and mulching in flower beds as perennials are starting to push their way through...Have more pruning to do and major work on the "bed" if I get gladiolas planted there.

Had a great walk at the lake yesterday, lots of uphill, then a leisurely walk back along the river for a change of scenery...Back home for a dinner of chicken, baked potatoes and salad...Late evening another episode of "Downton Abby" with only one left...It will be continued this fall on PBS....Must get moving now....Hugs to All.....   OWAV:)
