Friday and Saturday were glorious and wonderful days and on Saturday it got up to 72 here. That kind of temp here in this area set records all over the place. Of course, now the gray and rain is back but at least it makes me belive that summer is there waiting to come back.

This will probably be our last spring here in the NW. We are planning to move to Pennsylvania this fall. My husband will be home on the 21st and we are going to do a couple more upgrades to our home and then put it on the market. We are neither of us Northwessterners by birth and didn't come this way till we were adults. Both of us are more than ready to get back to four actual seasons, other than wet and wetter, and closer to his family who are all still in Maryland. I want to be someplace where I can grow tomatoes other than in a greenhouse. And I miss the fall color. Neither of us have ever lived in Pennsylvania so this will a something new for us. There is a poem by Robert Frost I think that talks about the roads well traveled. Well, the roads out here are way too well travled and familiar and I am ready for new horizons and thoughts and seasons.

I imagine that my youngest daughter is going to be very upset, but she is planning to move to San Francisco next year so it wouldn't make any difference in proximity after she leaves Portland. Moving is such a pain and nuisance, but I am truly looking forward to this one. My son is moving with us so he will be a big help.
