NICE ONE--It was great to see the sunshine return last weekend but beings those days were accompanied by freezing temperatures at night, I hope any new plants you got anxious to put in the ground wound up making it through the nippy temperatures okay. By the time you read this however, our rainy weather is supposed to have returned, so it looks like we still have to drag those umbrellas around. Of course, with more snow falling back East, and temperatures in the teens, we are certainly happy that we aren't dealing with their temperatures and...

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I had found my first trillium. Well, on my walk with the dogs yesterday, I hit the jackpot. There must have been 300 trilliums in one little area of our woods. They were just beautiful, and I had never seen so many, so I picked my first bouquet to enjoy in the house. The hummingbirds are back in full force and they sure are hungry little devils. They are so much fun to watch, and their colors so brilliant. Country life is the only way to go, and welcome to Spring. News from Naselle: Sports calendar for...

SOGGY BEGINNING--As this week begins, it's pretty doggone wet once again. We did have a couple of dry days last week though, so those were nice and we even got the lawn mowed, while some got their new plants planted, along with a few other outdoor chores. With forecasters disagreeing on just how wet we're going to be this week, I'm hoping that the one who says we're going to dry out for the weekend, is the right one! The only trouble with getting dry is, the temperatures usually take a nose dive and we get down towards freezing again so if...

WET AND WILD--We sure had a couple of days last week that were opposite of each other, as Friday was gorgeous and we were running around in shirt sleeves, while it was nothing but rain and wind on Saturday. By Sunday morning, the water was just going over the edges of West Valley road, so we're glad it let up when it did. As of this writing, many "lakes" are still visible as the ground is so saturated that it's not going anywhere too fast, so we'll hope for clearer skies this coming week as promised so that we get to see our "green" again!...
