If It's Spring

Why are these grandchildren so bundled up?
Answer: I haven't the foggiest. 
In parts of Portland it's snowing. 
Tree blossom snow, that is. 
Neat stump planter. 
The second round of blossoms are just getting going. 

Spencer has been the background on my phone since he had this done. 

So it's time for a fresh face. 
Sorry Spencer, Molly's next if I can get her to pose.

Ahhhhh Easter

My second most favorite holiday. The first being that one about virgin birth. 

So I'll concentrate on pagan things this weekend.
Spring flowers in Portland. 

The Timbers game featured me in a former life. 
Heidi even got matching face paint for hers. 
Ryan was hoarding his. 
Leaving, I had to admire this front yard tree. 
Think of the treehouse it could hold. 

Should get stitches removed tomorrow. Looking forward to my first look at Dr Verheyden's handiwork, pun intended. 

Keep dodging those lightning bolts.
