My first Fall season here in Josephine County, Oregon. The wife and i both love the dramatic fall colors here. Our property has a seasonal creek right below its fenceline, and the drainage is full of maple trees, which are turning fall colors. The nights are getting cold, mornings have fog running up the Rogue River valley, and late mornings on we are getting picture perfect warm, mild weather. The rains we have already received have gotten green grass growing in our pasture, and our 4 horses are grazing enthusiastically. Do we miss our former home state of California? Nope, not one bit! We no longer recognized the state we had been born and raised in, while we may have changed ourselves, the Golden State has changed more! For the record, we dont wish to change Oregon, it suits us just fine.......Bob
