This week was a change. We went from “Red Flag” warnings and heat waves, to weather reminiscent of winter. It’s not unlike any late summer day in Central Oregon.
As this is getting written, the sun is beaming in my window and it’s around 70 degrees outside. But for most of this week we’ve been watching storm clouds roll in from the Southwest bringing down pouring rain.
We didn’t do any long trips, but we did get out a couple of times . . . driving through the storms. In the high desert you can see weather coming and watch thunderheads bring rain to you.
Clouds are broken by blue sky drifting in behind the storm . . . then, it all starts again.
This probably marks the end of summer. The forecast for next week has clear skies and much lower daytime temperatures.
We’ll likely get out on the river and do some road trips. There are plenty planned, and fall is a great time to be out in the woods.
enjoy the week
