Anyone know what this shrub/tree might be? The blooms were giving off a stunning scent that stopped me in my tracks from 20 feet away.

You might have known I had beautiful, bouncy curls, but did you know that those curls are purple now?

If you teach at a Catholic school and you give a stressed-out student a cookie, sometimes they send you perfect images to thank you. The kids are alright.

For anyone planning to fly into PDX for SAA in April, the Bulletin doesn't list the light rail option for travel. It'll take 45 minutes, but it costs pennies. Take the MAX red line from the airport toward Beaverton/City Center, and get off at the SW 3rd & Morrison stop. Short walk to the hotels!
