Wheat Oregon

Last summer we acquired wheat from the Schultz farm just outside of Milton-Freewater. Our hopes have been to make chili from it but the final cleaning process was a simple task that I kept ignoring. I finally sat down on Friday morning and cleaned the wheat for some good chili that evening. I was eager to know if the final result was as good as Wheat Montana Chili, and I was not let down. Good thing I have plenty left to get through to the next harvest. I'll make sure to take a picture of the chili next time.

Sledding

Last Christmas I received an envelope from Traci with 12 envelopes inside. Each envelope has a different month written on it and I can only open it until the beginning of each month.

The instructions for the month of January was to go sledding. Yay!!! We picked the last weekend of the month to make the journey to Andies Prairie near Tolgate. We had so much fun that we forgot to take more pictures. The snow wasn't too hard and there weren't many people up there. Although we were exhausted and had acquired a few brand-new bruises, we got to enjoy a beautiful sunset on our drive back.
