The Best of Fall... Albany, OR

 I was so worried that I'd miss fall in Oregon when we were in Wisconsin a few weeks ago.  Ha... I didn't miss a thing!
 I love Jeannie's house.  I love how the pink stucco and the oranges in the leaves don't clash.  Nature is awesome isn't it?  Amazing how it all fits.  
 I saw this leaf today on my walk with Steven and Patty on Countrymen Drive in N. Albany.  I love fall and I know that I have mentioned that a few hundred times but I seriously do.  I love how I feel when I am driving down a lane and leaves scatter from the tops of trees above the road and gently float around me.  It's like being blessed with holy water at church.

 I couldn't see the house at the end of this driveway today but I decided that someday I would love a home at the end of a very long driveway.  

 I really wanted to sneak up this walk to see that truck.  I think it's a Chevrolet.  I would have loved the opportunity to photograph it.
A dead tree at Pumpkin Hollow in N. Albany fashioned in to a piece of carved art.  I love pumpkins anyways so Pumpkin Hollow and this carved pumpkin kind of made my day today.  

I love sharing where I live.  If you are contemplating a trip to Albany or the Willamette Valley, let us know.  We'd love to let you in on the secrets of our region.

  1. When I moved to Albany 7 years ago - I think that pink house was for sale and we went inside and looked. If it is the same one, it had a HUGE living room and a HUGE ballet room and freaky basement.

    It was neat, but we wanted space so moved to the country.

  2. I'm not sure it's the same one. The basement is quite nice actually. My husband has been invited to watch football with the guys down there. And, the living room is huge. It's very cute on the inside.

  3. I just realized you may have meant the light pink one in the first pic. I haven't seen that one inside.
