We’re enjoying a heat wave at 21 degrees F here in the Willamette Valley, OR. This is the kind of weather that makes us appreciate the rain. We have about 6 inches of snow on the ground, & I’m very happy I don’t have anywhere to go for the next few days!
My parents are from the Willamette Valley! Isn’t 21 kind of cold for your parts?
My family moved to OR in the depression from Eastern Oklahoma (Native American and white mutts). My parents saw the writing on the wall and moved out. Somehow the whole family has ended up back in Oklahoma. My parents just moved to Fort Gibson last month to retire. My mom has so many family members there it was more like a homecoming.
I miss the Willamette Valley, though. When I go there for funerals, it’s like the dang Garden of Eden. I thought the locals were going to call the popo when I went two years ago. I made my cousin pull over so I could pick the wild blackberries growing on the side of the road. You can’t even buy them that nice in Houston.
I’m enjoying -19 temps, -13 yesterday. The cats and dogs are going stir crazy, except my Husky, she loves. Oh, this is NE Washington.
