A very pleasant day

This morning, I'm having coffee, and reading about the winter storm stretching across the northern states from one end of the country to the other. Cold, snow, ice, and wind nearly as far as the eye can see. However, here in Southern Oregon, yesterday I spent all day outside working the property, where it was 65 degrees, sunny with bright blue skies, and a nice gentle breeze. I contemplated the total situation, and it didn't take me long to decide that I had...by far...the better end of the deal. While at times I have struggled with the move from Montana to Oregon, when I see pictures of those nasty storms that were so common, it makes the idea of being here much more palatable. There are a great many things I miss about Montana, but winter isn't one of them.
