There has been a shift in the weather this week. Days are cooler and skies hold more clouds. There’s even some rain.
The start of Fall is a welcome event in this house . . . certainly not for pumpkin spice … ewwww!
There were a couple of trips to the Crooked River this week. This is one spot that seems immune to smoke plumes and has become a regular destination.
Seasons shift means we don’t have to start quite so early and we can linger on the river longer.
The other harbinger of fall is the return of migratory birds. The honking of geese has become a daily occurrence. We’ll need to work in a trip to Summer Lake soon.
The Osprey was fishing and even the Kestrel peeked out from its hiding spot.
This might be in part because we did lounge longer. Regardless, it’s always nice to see old friends.
Some warmer weather is in the forecast, but it stays closer to 70 than 100 . . . and that’s a good sign.
As the heat of summer wanes, we’ll pick up the pace on outings, staying longer and venturing further. This is perhaps our favorite season and we’ll take full advantage of it.
