Hulda Klager Lilac Garden The day after our family gathering we were able to work in a trip to local sites with Bertha, Gary and Anne, Roy and Suzanne. As we were assembling after breakfast Roy noticed a couple of deer at the base of our hill which he kindly pointed out. As you can see by our attire the weather was a bit brisk but luckily sunny.
Our first stop was at the Hulda Klager lilac gardens just a few miles north in Woodand, WA. As a long time resident she had started and perfected many varieties of lilacs. We enjoyed not only the scenery of the gardens but the overpowering smells. We made a quick tour of the tulip gardens before lunch.

We then traveled up the Lewis River to a restored grist mill that operated in the late 1800’s. It is opened on weekends to demonstrate the grinding o
f grain and production of electricity from water power. The two-man 
volunteer crew shared their knowledge and all who wanted received some fresh ground grain for a donation. Nancy created a wonderful corn bread from our sample. We just might have to go back to get another batch.
