Finally, the Rain Ends!

Finally, after seven rain soaking days, the rains have ceased and we have bright sunshine in Dallas, Oregon.  And for the first time in seven days, I got in a morning bird walk here at Dallas Retirement Village!  There was a cold wind from the north, but the combination of a dry day and sunshine brought out the birds.
