Tygh Valley weekend... June 6th

We left Friday after I got off work and headed to Tygh Valley where Adam was running a triathlon on Sunday.   Beautiful country over there.  See pictures.

Wamic; just outside Tygh Valley

Flea Market Find...

Even though I have already shared with all of you about our Sumpter trip, I just had to post about my best find of that day.  I found a full size, steel bed frame with both head and foot and side rails.  It was so unique the way the side rails attached to the top and bottom.  It almost looks like it was forged.  There is an "R" on both of the rails where it gets placed and it is sturdy.  Missing two of the wooden wheels; but took them off for right now.  The best part was it was $20.00.  Originally, I was going to spray paint the whole thing and Devin said not to.  I' m glad that I didn't. 

Going to write into my Country Living magazine and send pictures to see if it really is something special or what kind of history it may have.   Looks fantastic in our spare room!

Make note of the rust....just kidding.  I wiped it all down.

Lovely......

Spring is here for sure......

Yes, spring is here.  We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend; which we did spend in John Day.  The prior weekend we were there also.  Went to the Sumpter Flea Market and found some neat finds.  Enjoy....

Aaahhh... sweet flowers and color...

John Day trip...

Finished small bench with back....really turned out pretty.

Everything was green as it is here.....this will soon disappear as we get more into summer

Home sweet home.....

Mother's Day Sunday.....

This is a late post but......Mother's Day Sunday was here and what a nice day we all had.  Saturday was not so nice in fact, quite iffy.  It was everything that I could do to get my outside stuff done in between rain and not so nice weather.  Sunday was perfect though...everyone was outside.

This is a lavender plant from Denny and the pot is from Devin

This turned out super.

Spring is here......

OK-we had some iffy weather but it is trying so very hard to be nice.  Made a few too many trips to Lowe's and their greenhouse but everything that I bought was perennials .  Ace had their gorgeous geranium baskets out and yes, I purchased a few (five to be exact) of those also.  I do bring them in the garage at night.  Come on-it's Spring.....

Enjoy...............

Springs a comin'

This past week has been gorgeous and spring is here.  The water is on and we had a forty foot split in our mainline.  Dennis had to dig it up and replace.  For some reason it did not drain and we both are not sure what happened...it just did.  Pasture got fertilized and the irrigation pipe is down and running.  So nice to have that going.  There is something about hearing the sound of the irrigation birds going.  There were alot of my perennials in pots that did not survive the winter; which was a bummer.  And some that did; underneath all of what looks dead, I found new green growth.  New bulbs came up and even some old ones that I did not know were still there.  Denny has one more line in my yard to dig up that did not get fixed last year.  Once that happens, he can turn the sprinkler system on to my yard.  We got quite a bit done.  Working Monday thru Thursday this week.  Friday off!

My tall phlox coming up....
