Sky Watch Friday!!

Time to share the beauty of our skies once more and it is amazing how a couple of days off can suddenly show you just how much you miss it!! So, forgive me for being a silly old broad and I hope you enjoy these today!!

Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.

For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.

Thank you for your visits to my blog and for your kind and generous comments for the past seven years.
Wishing all of you a wonderful holiday season filled with much love and laughter and joy!!!

Our World!!






Wishing all of you a very Happy Monday!! And welcome to Our World!! I do hope you will join us today and share the beauty and things of interest in Your World!!
Autumn has definitely arrived in Portland, Oregon, with lots of rain and chilly, but not cold temps and the colors are glorious – particularly against those gray, gray skies!!  I hope you enjoy these photos and that you will join us and share yours as well!! Have a wonderful new week!!

"Autumn begins with a subtle change in the light, with skies
a deeper blue, and nights that become suddenly clear and
chilled.  The season comes full with the first frost, the
disappearance of migrant birds, and the harvesting of
the season's last crops."
-   Glenn Wolff and Jerry Dennis  

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
