It's finally spring here in Seattle and although my garden is still in transition, flowers are out in full force elsewhere! This weekend was the warmest of the season with temps in the high 70's.
This weekend was all about family. I feel so blessed and treasure every second we spend together.
How can one not buy flowers here? Look at that smile!
Seattle street performers are everywhere on a sunny day like today! This person must have been very warm. What a costume!
I can smell that lavender from a distance. My favorite spot for lavender is the Sequim Lavender Farms and annual festival
Mounds of different colored radishes!
Have you ever tried a GOOSE EGG?
The most beautiful roses!
Lots of alley-ways here in our city. Sometimes you can find some great restaurants or little boutiques.
Our city has lots of character. It's fun to take a ride in a carriage driven by this cute little guy!
Sometimes you just need to hit the PAUSE button, prioritize and take a little time off. You don't need to do anything fancy, just step outside and smell the roses.
