Getting Ready

Well friends, I've let Fall pass me by without posting. I just can't seem to keep up with Father Time. He moves way too fast for me!

When I visited my sister in Terrebonne, Oregon, I drove home over Mt. Hood and took time to stop at some fruit stands. I was looking for fresh peaches, although it was October and  past the season.

Still some beautiful Fall colors in October, up near Mt. Hood.

After 3 fruit stands, no one had any. I was so disappointed. But what do you think I found over in Oregon on my way home at a little produce stand in Clatskanie, about 20 miles from my house? Fresh Hood River peaches! How ironic is that?

I managed to take a stroll through our local nursery, Blackberry Big Farm, right before Halloween. Oh it was so pretty!

Went on a mushroom hunt/photo shoot with my daughter-in-law. I'm amazed and fascinated with these red dotty ones around the outskirts of Astoria. We took some of her little fairies and elves to pose for us!

Hoping to use some of my photos for Christmas cards.

And I took a quick drive over to the ocean on a gorgeous, unwindy day.

Everything looked purple! No I didn't do any editing of this photo or add color tinges.  Wow.

And now................... I'm getting ready for Christmas!

Father Time, I'm going to catch up with you, I really am!

How is your Christmas planning coming along?
