Great series. I found a small artichoke blossom, yesterday, in a sycamore grove. Happy Retirement. I've been retired for 12 years, and love it. I did miss the people contact, so I work at B&N 2-3 days, mainly for the books.
Retirement! Way to go! Congrats! You live in such a beautiful area! My brother lives at Monmouth..I really love Oregon. I have not been to visit for a couple of years..but love the Columbia river, all the waterfalls and the grapes and the Pacific Ocean, and Mt Hood. How tall your trees are and my very favotite all the Hydrangeas in all colors. Nice to meet you!
I've been retired since November, 2008. I've been spending lots of time taking photos, singing, and writing. Currently working on a historical fiction novel.. I highly recommend retirement!
