Heading South

I find the Canadian geese that are heading south for the winter fascinating. I love seeing their formations and hearing them honk as they fly overhead. Our neighbor tells us that, at some point, we will see thousands of them in different formations* ... all heading to a warmer climate for the winter. Good for them. As for me, I'm quite content to be here with our crisp mornings and evenings and beautiful sunshine during the day. Yes, we had a good soaking of rain yesterday but I'm glad for that, too.

*She also tells me that it's a good idea to wear a hoodie when out walking ... just in case I'm in the line of fire for their poop. Yikes! A hoodie it is. I was the recipient of some seagull droppings once in California, so I'm heeding her warning. It wasn't a pretty picture!

I'm grateful. Take good care of yourself and each other. Namaste'

View from the Bus

Had some more fun with the geese by adding a view from the old bus.

It reminds me of the old school bus my brother used to drive when he was a senior in high school. He would pick me up on the cold, snowy days in Nebraska. He wasn't supposed to because we lived pretty close to the school and the principal thought the kids who lived close didn't need to ride the bus.

But Mike picked me up anyway. I was his first stop and he had me sit right behind him where the heater was. Thanks, Mike! Even though you're gone, I still feel your love. Namaste'

Playing with Geese

There are always geese flying over our house and I love them! It just seems that I never have my camera handy when they make their pass. But the other day I had my phone with me and finally got a picture. And then I decided to give them some friends by doing a ghost image. I guess you could say I've been playing with the geese. Honk! Honk!

Some folks believe that Oregon is always rainy, cloudy and gloomy. Not so ... we've experienced incredibly clear blue skies of late and only about 99 drops of rain. Actually, I'm hoping for some of that wet stuff soon. Well, I'm sure we'll get our share this winter, but with the wildfires going on, it sure would be nice for Mother Nature to step up to the plate and rain all over the West. 

Namaste'
