Woke up very early and this was my gift for getting up! It was awesome.
Spectacular sunrise – complete with a plane taking off from PDX. [see video]
I don't think I've ever before seen a sky that looked like this.
The morning sky in Portland is like no other place I've lived! Love it!
[Well except when it's cloudy and rainy and yukky – but then I dont get up and take pictures
]
Comments? Thank you.
My friend and neighbor threw a 60th birthday bash for her hubby and the neighborhood was invited – plus many of their friends and family.
Karaoke From Hell played for 6 [or more hours] while we sang, danced, drank, ate and had fun – way late into the evening…
And in case you are wondering: No – we never fall in the river – though we would have gone swimming if the water were not so cold.
The band set up on one deck and the food, liquids, chairs and tables were set up across what we call our lagoon or backyard and our partying started even before band had set up!!.
[The moorage was very strangely quiet on Sunday.]
We have frequent potlucks and parties in the neighborhood but this bash outdid all of those and will go down in the annals of Bridgeton.
Enjoy the movie: see my neighbors, friends and moorage and rock to the music!
PS – my house is seen at about 1:14

When you live in Portland – winter can be yukky wet [at least for me] and it's not great when winter weather keeps on into Spring.
BUT – when you see the first few batches of goslings – you sort of forget the yukky stuff and start counting babies. This is a neighborhood activity and we worry when some disappear and are happy when all of them make it to goose-adulthood!
Geese are very protective parents and you'll see one telling another to stay away from "MY" babies!
Next should come the baby mallards but they seem not to have produced many in the last few years. And they are not great parents 
What makes it REALLY Spring for you?
Living in a floating home has some benefits. You CAN actually take your house with you…..
only if you can find a new place to moor it [and that's getting rarer by the day.]
This short clip shows 2 floating homes going to new spots….
Could not resist running for my camera today… it was like watching synchronized swimmmers
