Holding Pattern
Image
Last week was a terrible one here in this country. And it really does feel as if we're in a holding pattern -- at least until after January 20, when, I hope, the USA will begin the return to some... Continue reading

WINTER COLOR

It was almost the end of December but there was still Autumn-like weather on our last "Covid-country-drive" of the infamous year just over. Sunshine turned the willows to amber and the blue sky made a beautiful backdrop for hundreds and... Continue reading

A QUIET WEEK
Image
Quiet and uneventful this week, yes, but given all the alternatives these days, that is nothing to complain about. Especially when skies are mostly blue and even the winter trees look golden in the sun (and it is December in... Continue reading

DAWN OF A NEW DAY

INSPIRED BY FALL COLOR
Image
It wasn't a terribly inspiring week. Boring appointments and other routine unbloggable stuff took up a lot of what ought to be all the time in the world, but somehow is not. The weather cooled down quite suddenly with some... Continue reading

The BEAUTIFUL and the BAD
Image
It was perfect October weather last week -- just about as perfect as perfect can be. Not too hot, not too cold. No rain, but it has rained recently so it's no longer too dry! All the colors of Autumn... Continue reading

EARLY OCTOBER -- A COLLECTION

Here in Eugene this year, we have only half as much Fall Color as usual. The proof is in the picture! Above is my collection from last week of what color there was. All pictures taken in between much needed... Continue reading

THE WEEK THAT WAS ....

What a week! Even in 2020, the one just past stands out as one of the strangest -- nationally. Everybody knows that already, so I'll just say that since we are still in semi-isolation, we probably have way too much... Continue reading

FALL

We had rain off and on and wind last week -- the first official week of Fall in the USA. One windy afternoon we were reading quietly when there was a strange and loud noise outside our window. Here's what... Continue reading

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

It rained hard last Thursday night! The storm cleared the air enough so that on Friday we were able to go grocery shopping, even to the Farm Market. And on Saturday afternoon, the sun came out for a little while... Continue reading

OREGON ON FIRE

We are safe at home, but the State of Oregon is burning up. Government authorities have reported over a million acres have burned. It is hard to believe that a week ago today (Sunday) my weekly blog post talked about... Continue reading

HOT WEATHER OREGON

It was HOT last week! Oregonians aren't used to 90 degree temperatures -- It's really not even fun to go for a walk when it's that warm. One morning we took a drive up into the hills East of us... Continue reading

LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL?

Is there light at the end of the tunnel? It all depends on which way you're going. Let's pretend we're all coming out of the dark into the sunshine. It could happen that way. The best walk of the week... Continue reading

A TRIP TO THE OREGON COAST

We stayed at the coast for a couple of nights last week. It was our first out-of-town trip since we arrived back home in early April. We have always loved the fact that the Eugene-Springfield area is so close to... Continue reading

LATE SUMMER IN THE CITY and COUNTRY

It's been hot -- for here in western Oregon -- reaching the high 90s on a couple of days last week. It doesn't even reach those temperatures until mid-afternoon; mornings have only been in the mid-70s at the highest. That's... Continue reading

FINLEY WILDLIFE REFUGE

We took a "not-a-Sunday Drive" to Finley Wildlife Refuge one day last week. I think it was Tuesday -- or Wednesday --- who knows these days? They do all tend to blend together. The Finley is a diverse natural area... Continue reading
