Hello Everyone!
I just celebrated my 38th birthday, and it was a lot of fun. The weather was gorgeous, and we went to our local Saturday Market. I didn't get any pictures I'm afraid. Everything has greened up a lot in the last few days.
But I do have this picture from going hiking with my kids just last week before everything started getting green. That's an evergreen tree growing out of the stump of a cottonwood at McHugh Creek Park.
