Sun and rain

Spring in Seattle, we cherish those days when the sun comes out.  Feeling the warmth of the sun on our faces, the colors and blooming flowers of spring.  But those of us who have been here long enough, know that it won't stay, so we have to take what we get and we are good at that.

B is doing Little League for the first time.  They recently had the big kick off parade.  Quite the event.  

 

 

 

I know I have said it before, but what I love about this little neighborhood we live in is the small town feel.  Parades like this, the fact that we can go into our favorite shops - the bookstore, pie shop, bakery - and they know who we are, they know our names, they know our favorite requests.  Rare in this day and age.

This weekend we celebrated a sunny Saturday (and were inspired by Anthony Bourdain in Provence the other night) with a provincial feast.  Pan fried sole (I am still eating fish), grilled portabello mushroom and asparagus.  Caprese salad and a very nice loaf of Macrina bread with some olive tapenade.  All those flavors, first grill of the season, fresh local fish.  so good.  but we knew to cherish the sun, because Sunday brought the rain.
 
 

But that's okay, because we broke out the dining table Ping Pong set and had some fun.  
  

Happy weekend to you.
