Ahhh....SPRING!!

Here on Laurel Lane, we are really getting into the spirit of a classic Oregon spring:

The cherry trees are a froth of white...


The canoes are yearning for white water...

The grass is growing long...almost time for a mow?

I have my (waterproof) work boots on!

Perhaps a grandchild will come play with us today...

Yes indeed, the skies are beginning to show some blue...

...and we are measuring up for a beautiful spring day here on Laurel Lane!
Sorry the photo is blurry...that's 2" of snow this morning. We had a phone call at 5:30 a.m., telling us the district was calling a snow day. Since this was to be the last day of school before spring break, Mark and I are currently enjoying the first of 18 days with no school. 

That's 1 snow day, 5 days of spring break, 6 weekend days, and 6 furlough (no pay--budget cuts) days.

And just for the record, this is my 32nd Oregon spring, but the first one I can remember with a snow day this late in the season. The forecast calls for sunshine tomorrow, and I can't wait!!

Hey, I see the sun coming out! Could it be? Here's hoping that all of us, and especially you and Mark during the break, get to have some fun in the sun!
