From My Front Window

Mount Baker looming, resembling huge ice cream cone cooling summer day. Swallows swoop, swallowing lunch from Mother Nature’s bounty. Humming birds sipping, finches defending feeders, robins stalking worms, while blackbirds gossip on wires and starlings steal ripest fruit. Last of roses blaze, fall asters show blue color as trees lose some leaves. Huge loads of produce pass by. Across the road crops ripen. By: Joyce Johnson 9/5/11came in at no. 10

It sounds you live in the most wonderful place...with Mt. Hood in the distance. How lucky for us, that we live with her sister...Mt Lassen in our view! Aren't they a beautiful range of sister Volacanos...and aren't we are fortunate to live in God's country??
