The clouds were the only drawback to winters! I really miss getting up, picking a direction and going for a drive. It is so beautiful out there! The St John Bridge....all the bridges really. The Farmers' Market in the Park Blocks and Mondo Croquet, Portland Center Stage...all the great restaurants and bars....the neighborhoods...metro! And the Rose Garden and the Japanese Garden and Forest Park and Mount Tabor and the dog parks! Coming into the city on I5 at night.....And all the inexpensive movie houses and Goodwill shopping and the block parties/ street fairs and the Zoo Bombers stack of bikes and Powell's! And the everyday people whose very existence is art!
....some day!
