LOCATION: Housesitting in Walla Walla, Washington
WEATHER: Hot and sunny. High 95
The homeowners prepared us a nice breakfast that we shared outside on the patio. It is so nice to enjoy the outdoors like this, in their garden.
They left about 11:00 and we walked about 10 blocks downtown to the Saturday Farmers' Market. We bought some fruit (Washington cherries and blueberries), local goal cheese and some local brats. Then, we stopped in one of the many wine tasting rooms downtown.
Our homeowners live in one of the historic districts of Walla Walla. There are many beautiful Victorian homes and cute bungalows. Most have beautiful gardens. Flowers are at their peak right now.
Our house has a front yard full of flowers as well as a backyard garden. This is the view from inside the house. The house in front of us has lots of flowers, too.
DINNER: George grilled the brats on the grill. Side was a roasted Walla Walla onion. These onions are well-known for their sweetness. We put a little butter in the onion, wrapped it in aluminum foil, and cooked it on the fire. So good!
Yum, yum, and fresh blueberries for dessert? Like being back at Grandpa Dawson's farm!
