1000 – 1025 hours
19745 Wildwood Dr. West Linn, OR, USA
43 degrees, overcast
Today I decided to visit my home in West Linn. As I sit on my porch I appreciate the view that I’ve missed so much at Willamette. On my deck I can see the beautiful garden my dad and I have worked together to create over the years. It shows itself like time, soil that has helped bear many different flowers: roses, rhododendrons, geraniums and even been taken by weeds. From the very same spot that I can appreciate my standard home garden, I also am offered a grandiose view of Mt. Hood. Although today it is not as prominent because of the overcast, I can recall times when it looks so crisp you could almost touch it. It amazes me that in this one spot , I can be in the presence of my home garden and the picturesque Mt. Hood. I can see Hood beginning to have snow and I look forward to the coming months of visiting the mountain and making more field journals there!
