  3. Farm Country is the best, growing up in the Hood River Valley, definitely was living in farm country. Big barns, large farm equipment, and the smell of the soil. Wow. Hugs to you. Florence

    Have a great remainder of the weekend! It was flippin' cold in Snohomish today! And still, we sold sun dresses and sun glasses (?) in Joyworks!

  6. Love you photos! It was almost like going back home again - we lived in Central/Eastern Oregon when we were first married and I loved the country life. Would go back in an instant! Well, maybe.

    I loved being with you the other day and seeing your home and shop. Can't wait to get back to your town again soon and visit you - and my new grandbaby!

  7. Love your farm photos!! I have a soft spot for worn old barns.....Reminds me of feeding the baby calves in my Uncle Jimmy's barn when my kids were toddlers. Sorry to hear about your travel troubles but am glad you ended up with a nice place to stay!
