Daffodils and a Camellia Bush



OK, enough about the weather! Truth is, no place is perfect. Those in San Diego love the sun, but complain that it's never green and there is no change in the seasons. Those in Minnesota (that arguably do have more sunny days during the winter) are getting snow at the end of April (I was always excited to see winter come and then really excited to see it end). One great thing about the gray and the mist is that it makes this the Emerald City. Our yard and neighborhood look great - look at our backyard. Marc snapped some pics of the camellia bush blooming, as well as some of the daffodils. Ah, spring is upon us! [Mike]

Let the Sunshine In!


Things are looking better this weekend! It's been a busy week, and the weekend ahead will be too. I was in Vancouver briefly to help moderate a conference session this week, taking the bus up on Wednesday night and the train back down Thursday evening. The trip back was beautiful, at least the portion of the tracks near Bellingham, immediately along the shore Puget Sound. Watch the sun set over the islands. [Marc] P.S. Happy Birthday, Mom!!
