Wilsonville’s night sky

Standard

April, 2024

Just a quick post, but a fun thing that not many people know about my home in Wilsonville – I can see the stars from my bedroom!

Well, okay. They’re not really stars, they’re those cute little glow in the dark stars that you can put up on the ceiling.

But you know what? It’s the little things in life that make the biggest difference. The fun of the mundane, and the simple good that we experience and pass on. For me, getting to fall asleep every night staring at constellations only visible from this one vantage point was one of those simple goods.

Suntouched skies and moody sighs

Oregon is beautiful.

Back in University, there was a group of my friends who would take annual trips out to Oregon to ski on Mt. Hood, and to climb at Smith Rock. They called it something along the lines of “Big Sky adventure”… which I never quite understood. They showed some pretty photos, and shared some awesome photos, but I never really understood what they meant by “Big Sky” until I first moved out to Hood River.

Even here in Wilsonville, which is basically a paragon of suburbia, the sky never ceases to amaze me…
