Just a typical spring week end in Portland, followed by a trip through the snow back home.

Timbers won an action packed thriller but I know you all wouldn't understand.  So just take my word for it.

Been walking under this tree for a long time. I would imagine so have many others over the many years it has been around. It hangs over three houses and crosses the street. I feel so guilty when I look at it and wonder how many beautiful boards hide therein.

All the grand children have new play structures in their immediate futures (here and in Denver). Currently doing drive bys in the neighborhood for ideas.
Working on rain barrel systems at Ryan & Judy's (photos next trip). Hope to include an aqueduct from the rain barrels to the front yard via the garden. I believe playing with water runs in the family.

Went out to visit Travis and Kim's farm. Rained a bit so we stayed inside and ate.
Poor, neglected Bella w/friends

Drove back over Hwy 26; no accumulation on the road but more snow on the east side as the flow aloft was northeast.

Back home again and the weather is perfect so gotta get outside and to it!

Enjoy Spring.
