What is happening at A Way Back?
Projects, projects and more projects. Rain, rain and more rain. But both will make for a great spring and summer!
Don just returned from a 12 day trip to various posts east of Oregon. He had a whirlwind trip, but was very happy to visit the chaplains. He came back just in time to get good and muddy as we work on the deconstruction of the back yard. We will then reconstruct the back to be a little easier to maintain. Right now it is just a big puddle of mud, but it has potential. I will add pictures of the deconstruction and then the reconstruction.
Don took some fabulous photos of his trip east. I will put those on after we return from Coronado's Salute to the Military. It will be mid April.
We hope and pray that your Lenten season has been blessed. We look forward to seeing you soon at A Way Back.

Spring is in the air
Yikes, How did it possibly get to be Fat Tuesday? Yes, we’ve been busy with winter and snow and projects, but I think this goes down as oops, just forgot to get back to the blog.
We had a great time this winter (between storms) visiting friends in Hawaii. Just loving sitting on Lee and Richard’s boat soaking up the island breezes. Then off to MA for a beautiful winter wedding, over to MD and to VA where Don attended a conference and I read books and played tourist. It has been a good winter.
It is not officially spring, but there are some signs that it is knocking on the door despite today’s snow. The mallards are back, the crocus are poking up through the snow, and the frogs are singing away. They are my least favorite of the signs. I never knew frogs could be so noisy. You think they would get tired and need to rest their throats, but know they are just singing away. All signs of spring.
Don has to repair the barrage. A tree branch made a significant hole in the roof, but other than that we sustained very little damage due to storms.
The potting shed will be in full operation starting next week. Winter operations are about to come to a halt. It was fun having herbs and flowers to tend to during the winter, but now it is time for heat mats to hold seed flats. Such fun. So, I need to finish my last knitting project this week, finish my book on George Washington. And start getting the spring wardrobe ready. (that just means, umbrellas, raincoats, and wellies and rubber boots rather than woolens.)
I think May will be a beautiful bulb month, but that is just a guess.
I will add pictures of the shed and barrage during the operation phase, for now you have seen enough of my snow pictures. So, we will go pictureless on this LONG OVERDUE entry.
