WINTER WOW !

I looked out my window and what did I see?

S-N-O-W ?
Last Monday I looked out the dining room window

and was surprised to see these "birds" in our yard!

I don't know whose chickens they are but they roam wherever they want to.

Then just a few days later this was the view
out the dining room window.

BRRRRRRR!

Even our little Monkey tree was decorated with a white coat.

It is not usually this cold on the coast.

We thought we were back in Montana!

So we had to take a ride to the dock to make sure

we were still in Port Orford Oregon!

NOW THIS IS THE KIND OF BIRDWATCHING I LIKE TO DO!

A SUMMER SATURDAY IN FEBRUARY

We have been having such beautiful weather

here on the Southern Oregon Coast. The ocean colors have been just magnificent!
The fishermen have finally been able to go "crabbing'.
(There is a boat in this picture if you search hard enough.)

This past Saturday we took advantage of the "summer-like" weather

and went "treasure hunting". WE LOVE YARD SALES!

(At least one of us loves them and one of us tolerates them out of love.)

We found a little lantern for the table and a few

"grandkid games". Now we just need some grandkids

to come and spend some time playing games!

(When a "winter-like" Saturday comes along we will be prepared!)

After the yard sales we went to the

LANGLOIS LIBRARY BOOK SALE !

There were thousands of books!

Dad had a fun time looking at all kinds of books

while I headed to the children's book section.

I bought forty books for six dollars!

Now I need a rainy day and someone to read to.

BOOKTIME WITH GRANDMA ANYONE?

I even found a book that took me back to

"long ago in a galaxy far, far away"!

This is the kind of "readers" we had in my grade school.

I felt like I was seven years old again reading this one.

After our fun with book and treasure hunting we

made our usual stop at the post office.

(This is a daily treat and a highlight in our usually dull routine.)

We also stopped by the one of our favorite places...

CAPE BLANCO LIGHTHOUSE.

There is a little trail that leads to one of our

"secret spots".

We can sit on this bench for hours and just watch the

lighthouse and the ships and the surf.

IS THIS BEAUTIFUL OR WHAT?

I did get a picture of the light house with the light shining

but it was too small to share. I think it only took me about

fifteen attempts to get it at just the right time.

(Dad kept counting and saying "Now!")

We love our little lighthouse.

So, we had a wonderfully busy Saturday.

Sure beats sitting home watching Shirley Temple Videos.

(Some of you will know what that means.)

We are so very blessed to live in this special place called Oregon!
