This was my first trip to Central and Eastern Oregon and I found the scenery beautiful, and sometimes desolate and stark. We drove almost 1,000 miles and saw old wooden snow fences on the side of the road, metal potato houses to store potatoes set against hills with the chutes on top,gorges, and barges on the Willamette River.
The photos are of the sky in Eastern Oregon, an abandoned homestead, two photos taken in Central Oregon, and a rest area in the Willamette National Forest near Sisters.
This morning the pastures have a brown and faded look, like an apron that has had too many careless washings. Rural Free: A Farmwife's Almanac of Country Living by Rachel Peden
I am a wife, the mother of four grown sons, and nana to five grandchildren. I work part-time as a librarian/ archivist at a university library. I enjoy knitting socks, hats, mittens and other items for charity, reading, hand quilting, growing old-fashioned flowers, and bird watching.
