4 Seasons

One of the reasons we picked central Oregon for retirement was that we wanted a 4 season climate. Portland seems to have two, a rainy season and a more rainy season. Alaska has two also, winter and road construction.

So we've seen a bit of the Spring, all of the Summer and now the Fall. We are seeing lows in the 40's and highs in the mid 60's so I'm pretty sure it is not winter yet.

The trees seem to be confused.

Some are just starting to turn.

Some are done.

Some are resisting.

And some haven't gotten the memo.
I can tell things are changing because I now occasionally get up in time to see the sunrise (just before 8:00).

John and Mary are due in just a few hours.  Wish they could stay long enough to see the area but John has to get back for his mid week hunting.

We'll have to settle for catching up over meals and maybe a quick trip to Crooked creek and Smith Rock.

Hope they like our perfect weather. I hear it is a lot like winter back home.

Stay warm.
