autumn in oregon

after strolling through some friends' blogs this morning

i thought...

i guess i could blog

it's been a less climatic weekend

 i did notes for work most of saturday

friday night we did go to see "seussical" the musical

which was actually fun

i'm not in love with most musicals

today we're doing a waffle feed

seems like the right thing to do

 these pics are from our yard and down our gravel road street

i love fall leaves

but in oregon lots of the trees don't turn

and i feel there's a lack of native

deep reds and orange leaves

thanks to the japanese maple 

in are yard next to the non-working waterfall/pond

i get my orange fix

it's getting that in between time in oregon 

where the rain is happening more often

and i'm just not ready for that

we've ran to smith rock to climb

and get out of the rain 

 on our way to smith/bend

we stopped to watch a msl game

at a bar on the way

i couldn't help but snap this jem of a women's bathroom

two in one large stall?

really...

we don't work that way

last saturday was "epic"

(because it didn't rain and was sunny)

mtn biked in the forest on my favorite trail

then scooted into tillamook for some squeaky cheese

took a walk on coast

let the dog run and be so happy

touched sea urchins

hurried back into town

and watched my spurs beat the trailblazers in the final minute 

(thanks to my friend getting us $5 tickets in the nosebleed)

don't worry i wore my cowgirl hat and boots, 

and my black and grey

and maybe yelled at the crowd 

when there was a dirty foul

"classy trailblazers, classy"

but i didn't say jailblazers!

i'd root for them any other time...

other than playing the spurs. 

the end.

i may be back. 

may not.

we'll see.
