Last week we had some beautiful weather, and a friend took me for a ride in her cute red convertible. We drove out to the town of Sisters, and found a new place to have lunch.
Next we drove on west and up into the foothills of the Cascades, where we found vine maples turning colors. It was a beautiful drive, and we ended up at Round Lake, a lake I had never visited before. It is actually in the middle of an older forest fire burn, but is very pretty.

On our way home we stopped and cut some colored leaves and filled her trunk to take home to make up into giant arrangements (which I've been greatly enjoying!)
