Gray

We are at Coffee House Northwest. We had it ‘to-go’ since it was too crowded for their small space and no place to sit! …But it was completely worth is because IT’S THE BEST CUP OF WHITE MOCHA EVER. Amazing.

Todd took this photo of immi while I was browsing Dublin Bay Knitting Company (a yarn shop in Pearl District, near the coffee house) with Ashland. It’s not that I need so much yarn, but my idea is that by going to a coffee house AND a yarn shop, I can get a better sense of Portland (the three points A. home B. Coffee C. Yarn make triangulation!). Besides, I like yarn shops, it’s cozy. Yelp.com has been really useful to me in finding all the yarn shops near whichever coffee house. There were SEVEN yarn shops within 4 mile radius (…and this is not counting all the other craft supply places that also carry yarn) from Coffee House Northwest:O

From the 6 years growing up in Seattle, I remember not minding the rainy season much at all. But to be honest, when we considered moving here, I did wonder if the rainy season here might be depressing to us. Well, I’m happy to report that none of us mind it at all. I love the gray sky here — Portland looks lovely in it. Besides, Immi adores her rain boots!
