spring in o-re-gone

I've been thinking lately that Spring is God's way of congratulating us for making it through the winter. I've also been thinking that I have a very different appreciation for seasons than I did before I lived outside of the US for two years. One more thing I've been thinking is that it is good to appreciate the small stuff in life. Like daffodils and cherry blossoms. And refried beans from a can.

Anyway, just wanted to share some pictures I took while walking the monster...I mean, dog...that I live with.
