Week 8 - Oregon City - February 17 - February 23, 2024

Very rainy...supper rainy week....not cold - but lots of rain.  Bruce and Vonda arrived and they have been fun guests  They spend most of the time at Bev's - which is the reason they came to Oregon.

I spent three afternoons working in the swale between First Slope and Water Pipe Slope - digging out blackberries.  Actually, I've never worked in this area - it is steep, mucky, and a difficult place to work in.  But this week I was determined to make a "dent" in the blackberry population.  I took this photo - it you look closely, you might be able to see a shove stuck in the ground and my glove put over the end of the handle.  It's to the left of the base of the big fir  just to the right of center.

I'll return to this area next and "finish" it up.

Sunday evening there was a town Hall with Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley.  
We went to see what we could see and to add our dissatisfaction re: tRump.  So did a lot of other people.  the maximum number of people that could go in were already in and the rest of us were outside.  The senator did come out and stood on a chair and addressed the crowd.

The Moab Louthans were fun to have in town.  In these photos we were involved in solving puzzles....and sewing.

My friend - Jack!  Giving me his "I love you squinty look."
