Fall November 7

view from 1the 14th floor

Here we are into the days of less sunlight and long hours of darkness. It is also the time of looking forward to the holidays. Here in Eugene Halloween was a sunny day the first time it wasn't raining since 2006. Also the Saturday market was a warm and beautiful day as was the mushroom festival. That was the last of a beautiful fall, brilliant colors, as good as a colorful fall in New England. There are many different trees here that don’t grow in Maine and I have some fall foliage photos. The city streets are lined with trees. Half the leaves have fallen and the sidewalks are covered in beautiful colors.

I have included a few of the Halloween pictures. The preschool children came to visit and paraded past the Ya Po Ah residents all waiting in the lobby for them. Then at night we had our karaoke party.
