|  Although
it is still pretty cold in the mornings, it is warm and sunny
in the afternoons, and spring is definitely here. We pay a homage
here almost every spring. It is a renewal of the year, of spring,
and of blessings in life. This spring, we have our grandson Kevin
out with us. Caleb, our second grandson, a little over one month
old, is still tiny, but he will join us soon enough. They will
learn to see beauty in nature as well as in life. Indeed they
themselves will learn to add beauty to life, too.

虽然大清早室外仍冷甚至结霜，到了下午就觉得热了。春天到底是来了，每年一度，姗姗飘至。今年我们把四岁的恺恩也带来了。恺乐才一个月出头，还来不了。但他们将很快长大，将也会学会喜爱春天，喜爱人生。

俄勒冈州州议会大厦旁边的公园 |
Cherry pedals are
everywhere: in the air, on the grass, and (sticking) to the bushes. |
 |
到处是樱桃花瓣：空气里、草地上、树丛间。 |

This place is old, people in this
photo are old (except the four-year-old Kevin), but spring is
forever young, in particular in this cherry blooming season.

地方是老地方，人也见老了，除了四岁的小恺恩。但春天总是年轻的，尤其是樱桃花盛开时。
