Cooling Down

The five days I spent with family were sunny and comfortable, giving us a last chance to extend our summer and escape the rainy weather that swept into Portland in our absence.   Grants Pass remained warm and dry, but as I made the 4 ½ hour drive home, I began encountering drizzle and gray clouds.  The further north I drove, the colder and greener it got.  By the time we arrived home, the rain had passed, the sun had broken through the clouds, and Mt. Hood was newly crowned with the first snow of the season.   Fall has officially begun, and chilly weather is here to stay.  During the day it stays in the 60’s, and dips into the 40’s at night.  Looks like it’s finally time to pack away all of our summer clothes.
