Yesterday was sunny and beautiful, around 75. Last night was not very cold and I had the window in my bedroom open all night. The fresh air felt so nice. Today is supposed to be around 75. I think Portland is more mild than other places in Oregon and Wash - we seem to have 'fewer degrees of separation' in high and low temps. I sowed alyssum seeds on Saturday and they are already coming up!

Red thanks for identifying the spirea. I really like that plant but I think it will get too big for the spot I was thinking about putting it. The other one I like is the flowering white current but the spot is too sunny for that one. I'll just cruise around the neighborhood today with the dog and see what others have planted in a similar spot.

A pic of a typical scene in my 'hood' - not my cherry tree but I love it!
