Japantown



Long weekend fun.
A quick visit to Japantown.


We ate tempura, miso soup, and katsu-don.
We purchased Japanese goodies like a hiragana workbook, a back scratcher, hello kitty slippers, fancy erasers, washi tape, awesome pens and origami papers.


We spotted mini bonsai cherry trees, kimonos, rice cookers, bubble tea and lucky bamboo.


We picked up our favorite Japanese food treats.

I love these impromptu family outings.
...
The rest of the weekend consisted of friends, church, a soccer parade/scrimmage, crafting, sleepovers, fishing, family bike ride, a visit to the bookstore and all sorts of other goodness.

a wee harvest


A wee harvest.
Have I ever mentioned that I need some land?
Give me land, lots of land with the starry skies above.
Land for potatoes, tomatoes, beets and many wee orchards.
Land for children to let their imaginations run wild.
Land for chickens to free range.
Land for the dog (s) to be king of.
Land to live off.
Land to rejoice in.
For now I will be satisfied with my wee plot in the backyard.
For in this time and place I will choose to grateful for "all the good things that I got".
