Spring?

Pulled my first shift as a volunteer at the Bethlehem Inn. It's a homeless shelter in Bend. A woman brought in "blanket bears" for each of the children staying there. 
They are made by a group that donates them to various organizations in our area. 

Each bear is tied to a color coordinated blanket. 

Afterwards I drove to Portland where Spring seems to be right around the corner. 
The Crocus are popping up all over. 

Evidence of plenty of moisture falling prior to this perfect day. 

So if you are a bit tired of Winter, rest easy, the weather is still perfect somewhere. 

Stay warm.
