I went to the Portland Farmers Market this past Saturday for their opening day. There was so much fresh food, hand crafted treats and children playing – it felt like summer! Well, except for the brief shower of rain which seemed to give everyone a quiet moment to explore and enjoy themselves while waiting under shelter.
I have a huge bag of produce and tasty treats to work through, life can’t get better than this!

I took a long walk with Zoey, my three year old pup across town last week. As we were about to cross the Broadway Bridge I was captivated by the view looking north towards the rails. Without knowning the location and reacting to the elements all I could say outloud was the word Boneyard.
