Dear Liza,
Our Portland spring keeps turning out more flowers, and I just can’t keep up!
The chestnut blooms are about six inches tall and smelling sweet.
As the daffodils and hyacinths fade a bit, the tulips have come up. Giant red ones…
and tiny yellow ones.
Wisteria blooms are climbing all over front porches, smelling sweet as candy.
And every tiny yard is edged with the fallen peels of cherry trees, drifting like soft pink snow.
Spring always feels extra-exuberant in Portland, maybe because every single living thing is so grateful for the warmth and sunshine after our damp, chilly winters.
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
