summer, it'll be nice to see you

This weekend is usually considered the beginning of summer. Here in Portland, we've had a sunny day and then a grey rainy day - or two. That suites me. I will enjoy the summer when it comes - for a while. I personally think summer is about one month too long.

I hope you all get to have a nice long weekend. Maybe you're going to the beach. I had my beach vacation last week. The mister and I went to Newport, Oregon and stayed in a nice hotel, did some sight seeing, but mostly stared at the ocean a lot from our room. I love the ocean air.

We did get out of the room a bit. Including two visits to my favorite restaurant, Local Ocean Seafood. Their tuna kabobs are my favorite thing to eat.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend, folks!

I really like the artwork of roadside. This piece especially is asking me to buy it. To me it is reminiscent of Anne of Green Gables and it also reminds me of this neat place we went to last month when we were on Whidbey Island. It was called the Lavender Wind Farm.

It was so beautiful there. We got there about a half an hour before they were scheduled to close. I would have liked to have spent more time there. The air smelled like lavender. We looked at the flowers and the view and bought some lavender ice cream (mine was blackberry lavender) and some other lavendery items.


Here are a couple pics from that day. This first one looks just like the picture!
