How Are You?  I’m Pine, and You?

Before I forget, I wanted to post some pictures from my trip to the Portland Yard, Garden, and Patio show.  My mom and I made the trip out to the Oregon Convention Center to a busy venue.  Inside was everything I would expect from an event like this – seed and plants for sale, landscape [...]
