Spring Fever

Back in Portland. The roses are going nuts.
They aren't nearly at peak yet.
This was one of the many gardens in the Ladd district. 
Gardening is a favorite chore of Louis'.
The dump truck needs a good washing.
And many of the plants need hand watering.
Thought I'd get in the spirit of things by going green for the Timbers game.

Nina volunteered to help.
It was very hard for her to press down the button, so grandpa helped.
Eventually, we got it done.
Ready for the game.

This must be a hereditary thing, because meanwhile in Denver.
And
Must be, as we say, "in their genes".

Shorts weather here, hope it's as perfect for you guys.
