A Joy for Many Springs

My Hillsdale neighbor Frances Cook planted cherry and pear trees in 1952. Fifty-six years later, she says they still bring joy. Her friend T. F. Jaxen took these photos.

From 1915 to 1928, the interurban Red Electric train passed through Hillsdale, now part of Portland. The trip offered a chance for passengers to share their views. My Red Electric blog is a vehicle for web travelers to do the same.
