Red in the Morning
Seriously red in the morning sailors take warning. It has been raining off and on for 5 days, mostly on. Yes, I know I live in Western Oregon, I was born and raised here, I know it rains in November. But we had a nice long and fairly dry fall, plus now with day light savings time gone, it gets dark between 4:30 and 5. It just takes some adjusting and when I'm adjusting I'm usually bitching.

Fall Dawn
Today is 64 and sunny and the dawn was very pretty, foggy and pink. Tomorrow the skies open and we start another bout of wet weather-- normal fall and winter weather in Oregon-- at least we don't usually have to shovel anything. I spent 5 years in Chicago and 8.5 years in Pittsburgh, I am very grateful. I don't even know where my snow shovel is. My brother moved here from Anchorage a couple

Patter of Little Feet
As the colder weather comes to the farm everyone is looking for a way to stay warm. Invariably some critters invade our house. This year we have a patter of little feet above our heads. Something has gotten into our attic. The cats are on alert, they hear it and don't know how to get to it. You walk into a room and find them up on top of whatever is handy reaching up to find out what it is and

Ramblings
It's been a wonderful couple of months. My computer had a near death experience and then truly died. So I've been limping around with a nearly dead or dead dead computer. I went back to the world of phone calls and faxes. You don't really know how fast life has sped up until you go back. It was frustrating-- no one answers their phone anymore. I left lots of messages and waited and waited.I
