It’s certainly hard to figure out what Mother Nature has been trying to tell us for the last week or so. One day we have shirtsleeve weather and the next is snow flurries, lightning, thunder, hail, wind and long underwear. It looks like a not so nice forecast for the next few days.

GORGEOUS--We might be back to some rain now but wasn't last week gorgeous? West Valley saw freezing temps several nights in a row, but those sunny days sure made up for the cold! The only down side to the wonderful weather was my back and knees and everything else, were aching in rebellion against the yard work I was trying to get done! Whew! Always quite a job but I'm glad to get ahead of some of the weeds for a change. I hope you've been able to enjoy some of this sunshine prior to the rains coming back, as it's really a "pick-me-upper."...
Can you believe the past couple of weeks and the magnificent weather we have had? Looks like that is about to come to an end this week as they are calling for rain once again. I guess we should be grateful for the mild weather we have had this winter, though. We have had the opportunity to see some interesting wildlife antics here on our property. Just the other day, I watched a heron try to land in our birch tree on a branch about 40 feet up. He made a big circle and attempted to land, only to fall all the way to the ground. He wasn’t hurt, b...

NOT TOO BAD--We began this week with mostly sunshine and just a couple sprinkles on Valentine's Day and then on Monday, we had a mostly sunny day after some morning fog, before the clouds came in and got us pretty wet, but all in all, it wasn't too bad. I would say the Valentine/Presidents' weekend was pretty mild compared to other areas. I heard from my brother, Marshall Pedersen, in New Jersey and they have been doing a lot of that "shoveling routine." We better consider ourselves lucky as the East Coast is still getting battered by those...
I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day weekend, as did my husband and I. We enjoyed a couple of days with our kids, grandkids and little Ezekiel, our great grandson. He has really grown into quite the little personality in his eight months. Wow, time sure goes fast when you don’t see the little ones very often. News from Naselle: Our thoughts and prayers are with State Trooper Scott Johnson of Naselle after being shot this past weekend. I hear he will make a full recovery and the aut...

NOT TOO BAD--Monday wasn't too bad; some fog in the morning and lots of sunshine, which was nice after several days of partially wet and cold. Looks like the dry streak won't last long as by the time you read this, we'll be ready for more raindrops and maybe even some wind. At least we aren't "shoveling" our weather, as those folks back East got hammered with a couple of feet of snow, so we're looking good. The only down side is that we might be singing the blues when our lack of snow pack brings us a drought this summer. Let's hope that...
It certainly looks like spring is on its way. Trees are budding out, the daffodils are already blooming in my yard, the frogs are singing, and I have even seen a hummingbird this morning, in this gorgeous sunshine. Even though there was a light coat of frost on the ground earlier, it has warmed up to the point we have doors and windows open. It’s wonderful. News from Naselle: Two teams from Naselle-Grays River Valley high school competed in an ESD 113 regional knowledge bowl meet in Olympia on February 5. In all, 16 teams from 11 different 1B a...

STILL WET--While we had some dry days last week, this month began with quite a bit of rain and a pretty nasty Monday. While things are supposed to be a bit drier for the next couple of days, it looks like the rain will be back by the end of the week. While it isn’t really very cold, with temps in the upper 40s and low 50s, the dampness seems to seep into old bones. I can remember snow falling on Valentines Day before, so I guess we should count our blessings that we only seem to have the “wet stuff” falling right now. SPECIAL DAYS--Those celeb...
