From gloomy to gorgeous

Eric Vogt Photography
One of my Facebook friends posted this recent picture of a scene in Portland, Oregon, showing that the cherry blossoms are already out! What amazes me is how quickly everything is beginning to bloom, after such a long and tedious winter. Even though it wasn't all that cold around here, it was sure rainy. And in the last two days, we've received another bout of rain, more than an inch.

To top it all off, we are supposed to have MORE rain on Thursday for our weekly hike. I'm really ready for us to have some more no-rainers. But whatever happens, I'll be there as long as my short little legs will carry me.

    I saw this on Facebook too! I work not far from here and am planning to take my camera for a walk tomorrow at noon.

    Beautiful! We are in for a long, few days of rain...not looking forward to it if I am honest. This past month has been more gray and gloomy than glorious on the weather front.

    I saw petals blowing in the wind today while we were out walking and I thought, "No. Not yet!" I love the spring flowering trees and want them to last a l-o-n-g time.

    Plants develop rapidly when the sun tells them to.

    Mom still cherishes her memory of meeting you and seeing all those tulips and cherry blossoms everywhere. It all looks so gorgeous!

    I have never been to Portland, but my niece lives there. Lovely trees.
