Oregon Wine Country: Extra Photos

A few post ago (see below), I shared pics from our trip to Oregon wine country. Well today, I thought you would like to see a few more. Hope you enjoy!
The lane to the property hearkens of the deep south!

You can even see Mt. Hood from the lane up to the property!

So many carnations. 

Closeup of carnations!

Wisteria, Wisteria!

What a dramatic entryway to the house!

Camellias in pink this time!

Not a painting,! These beauties are real. 

Where's the bee?

Orange flowers hearken the spring season!

Forgot to mention that the property we visited is for sale. Give them a ring at this number if interested. 
These are the hazelnut orchards that come with the property!

Tantalizing Tulips: From Belgium and Beyond


Spring is here, and our tulips have sprung. Just thought I'd share some with you. Some were bought here in the U.S. and some were bought in Belgium. Hope you enjoy!



These Orange and Yellow Beauties Come From Belguim

Some more Belgians!

These pink and white beauties are from Europe!

Our oldest tulip fell today, but it still is really pretty.

This yellow tulip is sure to show itself soon!
Love this full yellow tulip!

Spending Time In Oregon Wine Country...On a Hazelnut Farm

  This weekend, we went to spend some time at a hazelnut farm. We had a great time, and I got to snap some pics of country living while I was at it. Hope you enjoy!
The beautiful view of Oregon wine country!


These pretty flowers brightened up a gloomy day. 

These yellow carnations add a bit of country color!

Orange is my favorite color so I loved these little guys. 

I had to take two they were so pretty!

A view of the hills

Make a wish!

These guys are weeds? Not to me!

People need to eat. We snapped this photo after eating lunch in a nearby town!

Back to the farm to explore and take some more gorgeous pics of these pink and white blooms!

Spring has definitely sprung as evidenced by these gorgeous camellias. 

Another camellia that is just stunning!

Took a pic of the house while walking through the hazelnut orchard. 

Love the even rows of hazelnut trees. They are so beautiful!

This flower really caught my eye!


Another pink and white beauty!

This was such an adorable idea!

Some green onions. Did you know they sprout purple buds? I did.
