It looks like we may get a few days of spring weather...Is it another teaser or is it for real this time?..Looking around the flower beds, garden and yard yesterday, signs of spring are everywhere...Buds swelling on the lilacs and fruit trees...A lone spear of asparagus pushing through the still half frozen ground in the garden...The grass gets greener day by day and grows, not by leaps and bounds, but soon will need to be cut...The next few days of warmer, sunny weather, will be a nice change but there is a fine line every spring, if trees and bushes bud and bloom too early, then they are likely to get frozen in May when frosty nights reappear...Spring in Wallowa County is fleeting...Some places they actually have a "Spring Season," here it comes one day at a time but usually not in succession...Random days in January through May count as spring and we treasure each and every one.
For many years we made an annual trip to Lewiston (bowling tournament) and there we got our "spring fix."..April/May in Lewiston (a few feet above sea level) blooms were everywhere; bulbs, bushes, trees and more, to me it was a wonderland of blooms and fragrances...I didn't mind coming back to Wallowa County because I knew that soon our blooms would appear...After many years of not making that spring trip, next week Herb and I will take a getaway to a little cabin on the Clearwater River, just 30 minutes out of Lewiston...The forecast is looking sunny and it promises to be 3 days of blooms and awesome smells!...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
