MM and I had an unexpected free day and she suggested that we drive up to Timberline Lodge at Mt. Hood for lunch and to play in the snow. Amazingly, although I have lived here for sixteen years, I had never been to Timberline. We had an beautiful sunny day to drive up.
We were hungry by the time we got there. We had stopped off at a feed store on the way up to buy Roxie a warm coat. I highly recommend Geren’s Farm Supply in Boring, Oregon, if you ever find yourself in the area in need of anything for your farm or pets or if you would enjoy meeting Ella, the biggest bunny I have ever seen.
The parking advisor at Timberline told us we should park next to the Subaru up the hill. That was not a definitive direction since there were eleven of them up there. Someone didn’t get the memo and drove up in a jeep!
And not everyone was jolly enough to get a red one!
Then we headed right into the lodge
where we had a table with a view
and a delicious lunch.
Looking out the window (and eating at the same time) MM spots two shelties in Santa hats going for a walk.
And afterward, outdoors to play.
This is not Haleakala, our Maui girl comments.
To the south is Mt. Jefferson. (I can see both Jefferson and Hood from my upstairs window on a clear day at 1880.)
Roxie loved it.
Meg Wrapped her in the down coat to warm up and she slept that way all the way home.
Who doesn’t love an unexpected snow day?
