Today is one of those crazy Oregon weather days. It has been raining for the last 3 days straight. I don't mean a few rain drops here and there, I mean serious downpours over and over. We were at my parents the other night watching the rain gauge go up in like 10 minutes. Our leaves have been turning colors and are so gorgeous, but after today's wind storm I don't think they will be any leaves on the trees left. I keep wondering if I'm back in Hood River today with winds like this.
Weather like this makes me feel so bad for kids in college in Oregon. My poor cousin Brittany is at George Fox in Newberg, and boy those walks to class in rain like this is not fun. I remember them all to well, and I lived as far as you could get and still be on campus. Long icky walks, the good thing was that everyone was in the same boat.
The good thing about all this rain is that it really does make Oregon beautiful We love our green yards in the summer time, and our autumn colors in the fall. I am drinking my tea today and enjoying hanging out with Julia inside. Oregon weather is strange but pretty nice when you get used to it.

I agree my friend! I am enjoying my tea and lots of candles today. It is so depressing outside!
Greg Here. I remember the valley walk on that campus. Man I hated that. Which dorm were you in (I can't remember all the names)?
I was in Hobson, and Sutton so I was making that walk both years!
