Bend is a beautiful small town in Eastern Oregon with lots of fun stuff to do near by. This is our second trip to Bend and the weather is amazing for the end of October. Saturday we took a drive into the mountains and finished with a nice 3 mile hike near Tumalo Falls. There was not much wildlife to see but we did pass a lot of mountain bikers that were very kind about giving us the right of way on the trail.

Tumalo Falls again!
A really nice falls that you can get pretty close to and then the walk downstream was very nice. Bend has lots of space for people to enjoy the out of doors with hiking, biking, off roading, skiing and lots of lakes and streams near by for fishing. It is a great community and big enough to have real shopping and nature in one place – I love it, and the pine smell in the air is so refreshing! It smells like Christmas everywhere.
After a spectacular weekend Monday brought us a big dose of winter!
A dusting of the white stuff!
Only a dusting but it was cold! Down to 20 overnight! Burrr
Snow doesn’t stop Duke from playing Ball
So with the snow I spent Monday and Tuesday nearby the RV and got some quilting work done that I had been putting off! While I enjoy sewing when the weather warmed up on Wednesday Duke and I were back out walking and playing fetch while Paul worked.
