Taking spring with me.....

Since "Spring has Sprung" here in Sacramento, (its supposed to be in the 70's this week!), I thought I'd better bring a little reminder up to cold and raining Portland!

A Glimpse of Spring

You just can't beat Sacramento for the early and beautiful glimps of spring, IN FEBRUARY! I grew up in Wisconsin, so I do know how to appreciate this!! We are in the midst of our first glimpse, a week of mid-sixty degree days, things starting to bloom....absolutely the best reason to live here! Here is a little peek of things to come in your neck of the woods. I know some of you are going thru some unseasonably bad weather (sorry) I promise you will get here soon! Until then, please enjoy these pictures!
