Ground Hogs and Harvest Tables in the Valley of the Two Wallas…
I think that I have said that the winter weather in the Walla Walla Valley is ever changing but generally the winter is mild. We had at least one day in January with a high temperature in the 60s but the last two mornings it was 15 to 17 degrees.
Yesterday, Ground Hog Day, it was cold but sunny… what does that mean about the start of Spring? I’m hoping that the Ground Hog gives us a break. Even though he probably saw his shadow (if we even have ground hogs around here) it was cold, and so hopefully Spring will be just “around the corner”.
January has flown by which I guess is not unexpected. I spent at least 40 hours building a Harvest Table, in January, as well as maintaining regular open hours in the Shady Lawn Antiques store.
Here is a picture of the just completed Harvest Table. My friends, Ron and Leslie Klicker, owners of Klicker’s Antiques Store, are going to Seattle and will deliver it to Blair and Creagh this weekend.
Blair & Creagh's Harvest Table
I don’t know if we have groundhogs (probably do) but we do have one female moose and her two youngsters in tow. I wonder if she saw her shadow yesterday as she wandered with her entourage down Plaza Way and onto the Country Club Golf Course.
A friend named Jake says that the Moose and family usually live up near the the Archery shop on US 12.
Our table is beautiful and has taken its rightful place as a centerpiece in our home. We love it! Thank you, Dave, for your craftsmanship and partnership!
I saw Blair & Creagh’s table at their house. It is GORGEOUS. You did an amazing job. Your shop will be my first stop next time I get to Walla Walla.
