I want...

Ok so here is a list of what I want...



I want gorgeous blossoms on every corner...




I want breathtaking views or mountains daily....

I want funky doughnut shops...

I want a farmer's market that you can buy a complete

meal, have a snack and be entertained...

I want to have restaurants that serve yummy
responsible food...

I want to be able to wander into the beauty of nature...

I want fabulous coffee that is also art...

I want, no really it is need, to be able to easily get to the sea...

So what I am really saying is that I need to be back in Portland. Who knew that package of everything that brings me joy could be all wrapped up in one place...

Happy Mother's day to all the mommies out there! You all work so hard and accomplish so much! Hoping you get a day all your own!

Perfect Day...

So Mother's Day this year couldn't have been nicer...I had it off so I got to lounge around...it was cooler than I would have liked outside but I put my freshly cleaned porch to use and spent it the best way possible, snuggled and reading!!!! with the lovelies, then we went to my favorite restaurant Genji, and followed the whole day up with a walk in the rain!!!! (which I have always loved!!) I find the older I get the less days I get to lounge and relax with the gang...there is always something pulling me another direction and sucking up our much needed down time. So that weekend was like a true vacation. No plans, no running, a lot of snuggling, and time around the house. I really love a day snuggled in the blankies with the candles and incense going and books and journals and coffee or tea and the topper would be fresh baked goods from the kitchen...and if it is rainy all the better...I have been behind in my posts and have a lot more photos to get on here...maybe I need a flickr account??? Are those easy to set up?? Is Flickr as addicting as the blog world has been? Not sure I need another distraction...hmmmm....more really soon!!!
