First in a Lifetime

There have been many firsts here in Oregon, and here's another...mowing the lawn in February!



Everything grows in the mid-Willamette Valley, but now we know spring can also start when it should still be winter. Notice the spring flowers which have been blooming for at least two weeks prior to today.

Happy Valentine's Day

The Magic Tree House book series has been Ethan's favorite for a few years now. For V-Day he received "Leprechaun in Late Winter." While not having read it yet, he promptly added the new book to his MTH collection which obviously takes up the better part of his bedroom floor - at least when he pulls the books out of the bin.




Reportedly, Ethan has read all 43 books and many of the companion research guides that have been published. His personal collection holds 28 volumes. The September release of "Ghost Tale for Christmas Time" is eagerly awaited.
