The daffodils and tulips have wilted at last, and the last of the cherry blossoms are falling. Now I see lilacs and azaleas and a bunch of things I don't recognize when walking around the neighborhood. No roses yet, they don't usually start blooming until late May at the earliest.

Indoor dining has been shut down again in 15 counties, including most of the Portland area (though not in my county yet).
