Good morning from the Willamette Valley. Did you know the Willamette River is one of 7 major river systems in the world running South to North? Just like the Nile. I remember that from grade school and have not recently fact checked it, the 7 systems, not the running from South to North. It’s always amusing to tell people we are going down to Portland. They say, it’s North, that’s up. We say it’s down river.
I got my new cover on the greenhouse just in time for 50+ mph winds. They tore two of my automatic roof vent openers apart. Otherwise, good to go. I am transplanting seedlings from the starting trays into pots, then into the greenhouse. I expect to get them out into the ground during the last three weeks of May.
I have a rhody in bloom. Red comes first here.
Even in an overcast drizzle the colors pop. I want to try my older camera to see if it does better on the reds.
Well, it’s not perfect, but the Nikon Coolpix does a bit better with the red
It is drizzling right now, water on the blooms
our magnolia tree, blooms were a bit tattered from the weather.
the cherry blossoms are gone, but the memory is picture clear
Rainy and windy here. Our forecast for snow pack is not good, so a cooler wetter Spring will help with summer stream flows.
I filed for my extension again, whew, that was a lot of work.
