The Walking Thread

I was blessed with another beautiful day, upper 70s, sunshine and a breeze! I can't believe it. The rain held off until 9. It felt good to get my 3 miles in.

I felt off today. I did Friday’s norms on Saturday, so that’s a big part of it. My route was also blocked by live bridge work. I could have waited but I decided to turn around and get in the miles in different places. I went 6.49 miles. The heavy rain held off until right before I was leaving the gym. Fun!

I saw another bunny today. It bolted as soon as I took the next step.

Can you tell me why a curve indicates a house once stood there? I find that interesting. There hasn't been a home built on our stretch of road for decades and DH family had been at this location for almost a 100 years.

So in order to have wagons pick up product the homestead had to take up little room as possible but also have several walls exposed to...solar heat...so a corner of the land plot was used to build infrastructure ..and eventually a community road for a route and these happened when the initial pioneers of the 1800s. .. began to sell off land... this land was flat... from South of Salem to North Eugene...it is flat land so easy to carve into real estate

Homestead... just like Oregon... especially in the middle of the Willamette valley where nothing is grown but seeds for future natural grass turf and go around a corner and there on the shoulder is a bounty of daffodils...no house in site but the curve is evidence that a farm house once was there in garden beauty ... daffodils are so hardy and I don't think they taste good to gophers

There is Internet info on Oregon homestead daffodils and festival and the famous Halsey,99e groomed daffodils
