They are careful stewards of a great but small and very close to town mini-ranch. Their neat lawn is surround ed by a most interesting fence decorated with many old wa gon wheels and with pinned-up old milk carrier boxes holding various flowers in a variety of old containers. Inside the fence, flower beds are filled with poenies, daisies, curna tions, glads, and snapdragons. About 1981 they moved a large collection of iris into the space between their lower road and the Heppner-Condon Highway. This mass of color ful blooms is about gone now, but as Joan says "It has been lots prettier than just the bare bank." Ralph has lived in the at tractive house for 17 years, extensively remodeling it in 1981. In 1982 they cemented the patio on its north side. Now this space holds an um brella table, assorted chairs, interesting decorative "jun que" and hanging baskets of begonias and small plantings of petunias and pansies which all together make it a most interesting, colorful and use ful spot outside their patio door.
