The ViewWhen I woke up this morning, all of Marquam Hill was covered in fog; from the living room window I could see about fifty feet down to the house across street below. As the fog lifted, I could see what is now a familiar sight: mist rising from between the trees behind a small row of houses past SW Gaines Street. It looks the trees are on fire. On Saturdays and a couple days during the week the Portland Farmer's Market is open on the Park blocks that run right through the center of campus. On my way to the library I passed asian pears, lots of pumpkins, fresh bread, cheese, and wine, and massive sweet potatoes that look like they had been cut out of solid earth. From the window next to my table at the library I can see massive old trees that stretch higher than the five story building. The building is shaped in a semicircle around the largest, so the study tables seem focused towards it. It's a good day. |
