Happy Halloween!

Here it is, the pumpkin I posted last week, in its newly carved glory!!! Happy Halloween everyone, and GO BEAVS!

What I WISH I could see...

I feel like we have not had a Mt Hood sighting in weeks! The thick cloud cover prevents us from seeing the new snow up there. This was taken this time last year. According to the weather reports, it may clear up enough sometime this weekend to peek out for a bit. Only time will tell.

Waterfall in the fog

You can barely notice the waterfalls through the thick fog that clings to the surrounding trees.

Grassy Water Droplets

The dewy mornings make for a layer of water droplets on all the blades of grass. Lovely!

A thought to ponder: People are often confronted with the “grass is always greener” dilemma. In simplest terms, take a look at your problems compared to those of other people. Would you trade your problems for theirs? That’s what I thought… :) The grass is definitely not greener. It’s brown and wilted and in some spots it’s just cement.

Piles of Leaves

The piles of leaves around the neighborhoods are growing, and the trees are looking more bare. The house on the corner of our street has no lawn, just a blanket of fallen leaves.
