Peggy (my wife, who I'm forever talking about) and I live in Oregon's Willamette Valley which is where Strayer lives, only she's 45-miles north of us (we're in Eugene, and she's in Albany). The winters aren’t terribly cold here, but they are terribly gray and drizzly. My hatred for winter comes mostly from my fear of colds. When I was a boy, I would catch one cold that would last the whole winter long by turning into bronchitis and pleurisy. As a result, I have such a terrible fear of getting sick in winter that I don’t even want to be around people in winter.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655671648854655720.post-5504187371406250182016-12-27T15:08:07.993-05:002016-12-27T15:08:07.993-05:00Thank you!

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. I'm one of the few that get "cabin fever" in the summer. Your photos made me chuckle only because I'm happy to see I'm not the only one taking images of our beautiful sky. I have a picture folder titled "September Clouds." Thanks for sharing yours.S.

This year, we had a short short summer, with the rain not leaving til mid July, which was very depressing. I love fall, however, for the crisp cold clear nights with stars that seem to bulge from the sky! Often our fall is just gray and dreary and that seems to be in store this year.Strayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124298302997708537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655671648854655720.post-60826649968419290502016-09-23T04:14:23.602-04:002016-09-23T04:14:23.602-04:00I love autumn too.
