Matt decided we needed a break from our normal routine last Monday, so we packed a picnic and loaded into the van. Destination: Palouse Falls. The drive was glorious. We saw field upon field of outstanding dry land wheat--amber waves of grain. The dry land wheat farmers have benefited greatly from the very wet spring we had. All the other farmers around here (especially hay farmers) have not enjoyed the wet weather at all.
The Falls were beautiful--an oasis in the desert. Daddy and the kids went on a hike. I didn't like the glorified port-a-potties. We stopped on the bridge on the way back to view the train passing through the narrow cavern carved out of the rock. Everyone except Daddy slept all the way home, so I can't share anything about the lovely scenery on the different route he took to get us back to the old homestead.
