A Saturday Drive

Next up on my stitching agenda The Trilogy's "Happy Bunny Bunny Day". I decided to do something Springish in nature and I love the pink floral buttons which augment this design.

Okay - I know almost the entire USA has been basking in sunshine and warm temperatures, while we in the Pacific NW shiver with rain, hail, snow and cold temperatures.  Because the weather has been so unremittingly ugly lately, there's no Wednesday Walk this week.

Let's take a Saturday drive instead! 

Yep, there was snow in them-there hills when we began our drive north to rural Junction City, OR.

On the valley floor, some signs of spring: Green, green fields!  

And did I mention this was a 'Daffodil Drive'.

It's so refreshing to see daffodils on a gray mid-March day.

I had to include this gal!  I think she needs a good orthodontist!  

Still more daffs... 

Ferguson Road - a narrow, rural road.  

Slow down - turkeys in the road!  And we are courting so playing no attention to traffic. 

Further daffs...

This time of year, flocks of sheep are brought down to fields in the Willamette Valley for lambing season.  As we drove north we saw two turkey vultures in a field of sheep (a sign of someone's demise).  That was not unusual, but their companion at the dinner table was:  A Bald Eagle!  I was not able to get a photo from our car, but someone else did - here's the link to their photograph.  Bald Eagles also winter here, so it is not unusual to see one. 

On our trip homewe saw another Bald Eagle.  This one was perched in a tree overlooking a pond and watching the fishermen - hoping for a handout!

I hope you enjoyed our drive - next week we'll take a walk - weather permitting!
