Dear Liza,
After staying inside for two whole days because it was just too cold to go for a walk, I bundled up and made it as far as the park. The temperature has been below freezing at night and never above 40 for days, but the sky has been blinding bright.
It is a crazy, bright, beautiful combination.
Of course, all the sunshine is encouraging new spring flowers.
Hyacinths grow just a few inches high, but camellias are budding way above my head!
There are some I don’t even know the names of, but they sure are going to town!
Once I got to Laurelhurst Park, I found a bench in the sun and enjoyed watching the people parade go by. Of course, it was still cold, but I was determined to soak up the sun. I lasted almost half an hour before I needed to get back inside.
I hope your weather is pretty and pleasant.
Love,
Grandma Judy

Thanks. It’s my ‘cock-eyed optimist’ mom’s training. Remember Nellie Forbush in South Pacific? She sang that song and it sort of e planned my mom’s outlook.
I will attach the video link in the next email.
