A long, wet, cool spring, and then ka-pow!
There is nothing so spectacular as a sunny day in a rainforest.
Portland, Oregon gets a bum rap. It has a lovely climate. Its 156 days of precipitation mean that it is lush and green. That makes a bright warm day memorable and beautiful.
It is the second week in May, and high season for rhododendrons, azaleas, and pink dogwoods. There is no need to overthink this.
Notice the moment.

Sweet! Portland may get a bum rap from people frustrated by its traffic or politics, but I've never heard anyone complain about the beauty of the area.
Thank you for the flower photos. There can never be enough flowers. Also autumn leaves (hint).
On a political note, I am a longtime fan of "All in the Family," like millions of Americans. Although I am not the first to make the connection, imagine if that show was being made today. Would Archie be Ultra MAGA? Can you imagine the arguments between Archie and Michael (Meathead)? What would Edith and Gloria (Little Girl) say? We need a show like All in the Family today. I wish someone would make it and hopefully advertisers would support it. The cast was outstanding and Norman Lear is a very talented genius.
Younger readers may not know that the television comedy ran from 1971-1979. Norman Lear, who is 100 years old (born July 27, 1922 in New Haven, CT), produced the show.
I MISS All in the Family! So relevant to the issues of the day. Is my amazement of the younger generations' ignorance of everything we elderly held so sacred-or so horrible-a form of Future Shock? Sorry, kids; you likely never heard of such a thing.
