Cruising at summer speed

Aren't things supposed to slow down in summer? It still feels like we're moving pretty fast in this office. I can't even find the time to check out the lotus that should be blooming in Portland's Chinese Garden this month. So from time to time I gaze longingly at the photo I took last year. Just not quite the same as being there :(

Suddenly it's summer!

For a day at least, it feels more like June than January. Please, may we see more like this... Along those lines, I learned a new term this week. Besides Junuary. You know those rosebuds that endure so much rain they turn brown and die before opening? They're called mummy roses.

April showers did indeed yield some amazing May flowers around these parts. There's a veritable blues festival underway in my yard now, with several Ceanothus blooming, including the one on the right. I cannot resist this color...But on to more official matters...
