It is rainy and bleak here in western Oregon.

and the 'other' side with warmer than normal temperatures.



























We westers are reverting to button-up collars and hanging onto umbrellas against rainful elements pushing in from the Arctic.























While ye easters are advancing into sudden summer-like weather  - seeking out sandals and fans, dialing down the air conditioner.

  6. I am in the middle and have enjoyed the early Spring we've had! In MN, we usually are getting dumped on with snow in March. Now it has been up to 70 degrees. Nice. Hopefully Spring finds you soon!

  8. Thanks so much for everyone's kind comments.

    bananaorangeapple: Photo at the top of my blog was taken end of January this year when my husband and I were traveling back from eastern Washington. It is one of my favorite scenes on earth - the mighty Columbia River rounding a bend just before you cross over the Oregon border. The lonely structures you see are grain elevators, which house grain brought in by train, holding it until barges carry it down river. A freight train appears on the other side of the river.

  14. This weather is strange this year so far. We sure could use some of that rain on the east coast. I have heard that just before Easter we should be cooling down. Cute post!
