Red bridges in beautiful gardens
My friend Christopher and I walked through the lovely Kubota
Gardens in south Seattle as we talked about life, love and the pursuit of
happiness (among other topics)
Beehive shaped frosted shortbread cookies
Christopher and I stopped at a bakery in Columbia City after our
adventure in Kubota Gardens. I never can
resist a frosted shortbread cookie.
Finishing a book with wine + sunny day + great view
With work as busy as it has been, I have had little time to
read, so I absolutely adored being able to finish a book while hanging out on
an outdoor swinging chair and staring off into the valley below from time to
time. “Little Bets” shares stories of how
many successful people (from businessmen to performers) have perfected their
craft through taking small bets and testing them in the marketplace to see how
consumers respond. I loved how
applicable it is to life in general!
Ending the day at the top of a mountain
I headed across the mountains for my day off to Leavenworth
where I set off for an afternoon hike with great views of the neighboring
mountains and I myself ended my day at the top of a mountain on the trail. I also saw what I think was probably the coolest bird I've ever seen in my life.
Afternoon coffee dates at a gingerbread house
Before heading back to Seattle, I thought it was only
appropriate to hit up a gingerbread themed coffee shop before heading out on
the long way home.
New light switch plate
When I was in Oregon for Easter, I found a switch plate that
I just HAD to get. Maybe it sounds
weird, but I think it really helps pull my room together since the rest of the
colors are rich tans…and I just love that it has a map of the world on it. Simple pleasures.
