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