Gorgeous

It's a gorgeous day here in PDX. Avery and I met a friend and her daughter for lunch at Sip N Kranz in the Pearl District. There's also a park in the square in which it's located with water for the kids to play in. Avery's not yet old enough to enjoy that, but next summer, we are totally there! It was just as crowded on a weekday as it is during the weekend.

I put out our cushions on the patio furniture on our deck and got all of my flower pots watered. After Avery woke up from her 2.5 hour afternoon nap (yahoo!) we sat out on the deck while having a bottle. We watched as a hummingbird visited the hanging pots, saw where a woodpecker has created a little home for himself, and watched a hawk very high up in the sky almost floating. All within our little backyard. Avery was fascinated.

Tonight we're off to Caprial's for another cooking demonstration class. Truth be told, we're mostly going just to eat, but it's good to get a tip here and there, too.
