WAITSBURG, WA

I love travelling through these little towns that seem never to change or give in to "progress"... at least through the eyes of a passerby ... in the brief moments it takes to drive throught them. Remove the "pig", lawnmower and modern cars from the street and you really do feel you have stepped back in time.


One trip back on the outskirts of this little town we stopped for directions (yes directions...my husband can get lost just about anywhere and we had not at that time purchased a GPS unit - they are a godsend when it comes to navigating through these tiny villages LOL) ...anyways, across the street from where he'd stopped, just a mile or so out of town, was this gorgeous little cottage and plant nursery for sale...it looked like something out of a fairy tale... how I wanted to snap it up and finish out the rest of my days on that patch of property!


The countryside north of Waitsburg is mostly flat with rolling hills, farmland and wheat and grain crops. But within minutes it turns into the lush "green-ness" of vineyards for as far as the eye can see.

One never tires of the constantly changing scenery, I enjoy so very much these long drives "home" to the northwest from southern California.
