Signs of Spring / Hope from Portland



As the East Coast digs out, the South tries to warm up, and the world turns its collective attention to Vancouver for curling, hockey, skating and skiing - I thought I would share some signs of spring from Portland. The Cherry trees are starting to bloom.

The posts have been fewer and further between lately. I assume folks are just busy - but you’re all in my thought. Happy spring.

Indeed! Happy spring! I look forward to a weekend visit from Tonya, Bob, Lara and Rick! That will make it seem like spring!

Hey -- great post! And the cherry blossoms look lovely. We have little exciting to share...and I'm pretty weak in the technology department for taking photos and posting...BUT -- I will see what I can cook up to dust off my posting skills

Very pretty! I envy you. We are still up to up butts (literally) in snow, soon to be up to our butts in water (again). It will probably be a month and a half before we see anything as pretty here in Fargo.

Nice photos. I am envious of the blossoms.

It is snowing here. According to the radio - "The Super WalMart in Canton, GA is out of milk, bread and 45 ammo."

I will post pictures later.

It's been a hectic week. I wish I was joining you guys in California.

I miss all of you.
