Week 16 - Oregon City -  April 15 - April 21, 2024

There is a big beautiful Cornus nutalli on the edge of the woods!  I call it stunning.  Here is what it looks like from the woods.

Lots of Bleeding Hearts in the woods.

On Tuesday we had a celebratory birthday lunch at Coaster Crossing   Dad and I ordered the very same thing we'd gotten the last time we were there.  Here's a photo of the birthday buddies, Ann and Dad.

Pearl's baby kitties are getting bigger.

And...our baby kittens are still cute - 

Other than taking photos of our cats, I've been walking every day in the woods - 3 miles in 2-3 hours.  I can do it in 2.5 hours if I don't stop along the and pull weeds.  When I'm just working in the woods, I've been pulling up Stinging Nettles in wet bogy places where I wear chore boots and double layered shirts so I don't get stung.   It's really tiring.  I'm also digging up small clumps of blackberries starts and - always- looking for little clumps of bed straw.
