Duncan Sheik wrote a musical called Spring Awakening. It's NOT for little ones and it might not be appropriate some teens, depending on their maturity level. But the music is beautiful and the stories are interesting and heartbreaking and, in some cases, eye-opening. My friends at Live on Stage are performing this gorgeous show at the World Trade Center. It opens May 3 and runs through the month.

Portland's Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden near the Reed College campus in SE Portland is unbelieveable right now. You MUST check it out and take your camera!

Farmers markets are busting out all over. Click here to find one close to your neighborhood. Shop and eat local! I LOVE it when I know exactly where my food came from and who made/grew it!
