Washington Park and museum

Turns out it didn't rain afterall. Had a long walk in the park along Wildwood Trail, Beech trail, magnolia trail and others. The Fall colors were brilliant. We were on a quest to find the cherry tomato vine growing wild inside the park. It was huge.........covered about a 10' diameter circle (well, sort of a circle). Had lots of tomatoes. Mostly green ones now. We came back down the trails after dark and that was my spooky Halloween thing. Wouldn't have wanted to be there alone trying to find the trails after dark. With company, it was fun.

Today we went to see Raphael's "The Woman with the Veil" at the Portland Art Museum. The painting is on loan from Italy and we had to have a ticket for specific time. We could see the painting between 3 - 3:30pm.

Listened to street band playing at a PSU pregame Block Party on one of my walks with Chet. Music, hot dogs, tables and beer at the blocked off street.

Sidewalks were golden with fallen leaves and have now been cleaned with blowers.

A bright cresent moon above red and golden trees makes a nice ending for my day.

  1. yes, the leaf colors are beautiful and the full moon will be here soon! But it is too cold here in Santa Fe for me. I am worried that my poor Roadtrek may freeze before I depart for warmer weather next week! I have kept the heater running!
