Trimmin' with Trautz
Bill Trautz was hard at this morning, May 16, trimming back the wisteria along his sideyard at 506 E. Seventh St. in The Dalles.
But that’s just the tip of it.
Trautz took us on a tour that dated back to 1981 when he and wife Linda Trautz bought the 1915 Crafsman.
Trautz at 78 said he liked to keep moving and the yard is providing the motivation.
And when he is not trimming the hedges or training the ivy, he likes to get out to his son’s wheat farm near Dufur to pull rye and pick some rock.
Hard work seems to be a common theme in the Trautz family. Linda has been getting it done for years in The Dalles.
