Crooked River Sunday Drive

It was such a beautiful day that I had to get out and explore this new area that I am in.
When I got to the end of the street I turned right and just kept on going.
I had never been up the Crooked River and wanted to see what adventure awaited me.

A river that flows through a cannon that was carved out so many years ago. It made me wonder
what it would have been like to travel across this country on a wagon train. To put my life and trust in
others to get me to the my destionation safetly. Over hills and through rivers. How far would I have made it?
What would my life have been like? As I drive along this road I  couldnt help but day-dream.

I stopped along the way at many BLM campgrounds.
All of them were right on the river.  Good fishing im sure....

Then you come around a corner and there are the Mountains.  Three Sisters and  Mt.Bachelor.
I cant wait to explore more. Next trip will be to Mitchell and John Day.

ATV on BLM

It was just to pretty outside today to stay in.
I jumped on the Quad and went down to my new BFF house.
She is a true cowgirl...horse and all...  :)
But today was a ATV day.
We took off and after taking a spin around the "hood"

We headed up to BLM land.  How much more beautiful does it get......

We turned off the quad and just listened to the birds. It was so nice to not hear anything.

There were too many clouds to see the Mt. I will come back on a day there are no clouds.

Here are a couple of pictures from my friends house.

Cowgirls best friend.....jeans and work shirt....and boots.....

It's smelling like Spring

Now that I  re-located to the Central Oregon area, I feel compelled to wake up when the rosters start crowing. And this beautiful Spring morning I really don't mind.
It is only a little after 7:00 am and I am on to my second load of laundry.
What is it about the thought of Spring that makes everything new.....
I have repainted my new room and have thoughts of painting the rest of the house.
I worked in the south 40 yesterday. Getting the garden ready(however I know that the bunnies will
get the most rewards of that).Moving rock.......and rock.......and more rock.

I opened the curtains and windows.

And out the front door snow caped Mt.
Im not sure what is what yet. But I know that
 Sisters and Batchlor are out there. Also Mt Jefferson.




                                                                          And when I look to the North........                  Look what I found....:)
Miss H......Just waiting to take me on a adventure.....And Im getting ready too!!!
