Oregon is simply magnificent in the spring.

Seriously – I love New England, and can’t wait to explore (and love, I hope) Europe, but I can’t imagine anywhere else in the world that has the same explosion of flowering growth that Oregon does in the spring.

Alongside the explosion of flowers, the warm days have crested over us pretty solidly at this point. Shorts and tee shirts are the name of the game, and the Mustang is getting a lot of top-down driving time in. It’s lovely, beautiful, and all of those great adjectives that make us all happy for the growing things in the world.
