Week 15 - Oregon City, April 7 - April 13, 2025

I've been working in the woods a lot - mostly digging up and out blackberries, ivy, nettles, thistles.  But, I'm also taking photos of spring blooms....it's like meeting up with old friends you haven't seen for a year.

this is a Rhody Warren got for me a couple years ago. So far it is the only one to have bloomed.

I found this baby Douglas Fir on the trail.   I mark all with a landscapers flag.

This is my Spring Photograph

Bleeding Heart - Dicentra formosa

I replaced the bridge which crosses the creek between Sector 2 and Sector 4.  Tjhe original one I made was just a 6-in beam.   The last time I tried to cross it, I hesitated..it was just too narrow.  So I installed this much wider metal mesh bridge.

These are the healthy Cedars of Lebanon trees that we grew from seed from a cone that fell on to the ground at Bevs.  These are planted on the south side of the hay field.

Shawny Ernst was in town - she came for the Easter Devotional for which Whitney was the pianist and also conductor for the children's choir.

Jessica, Bev, Travis, Warren, and Dolores were in the orchestra

Clara, Gretchen, Abby, Holland and Copeland were in the choir.

Brenden and his family were in Oregon for the weekend.

Jack like to help me practice.
