Sand in the City

I have wanted to make it to this event ever since moving to Portland, and we finally did! It was pretty impressive!

Harhar

Orion even made a craft!  A bag puppet!

On the way home, we stopped at Trader Joe's, and the rad cashier let Orion scan and process the whole order!

This is the Life

I sat outside for a bit today and just thought to myself, wow, this is what I have always wanted - a big garden and chickens - and look, not it is my life!

Vagabond Opera in the Park

I have always loved concerts in the park, and I also love Vagabond Opera, so really glad we made it!

OCF / Oregon Country Fair 2013

I went to OCF with just Akasha this year. We stayed the night in Eugene on Saturday and went to Fair on Sunday.

We used the shuttle this year, and it was really nice to get dropped off right at the gate!

We got our spot in the meadow and are ready for the day!

Characteristically odd performance

Love the colors in this one!

Akasha was fascinated with these.

Making a windsock!

This lady set up a spot with all these Dr. Seuss books to read and give away!  So many awesome people at Fair!

My friend Kristin took this.  Miss Grumpy Britches would not smile.

Thanks to "Mama Lyly", I got an hour to myself AND Akasha got her face painted!  She is meowing in this picture.  :)

Contemplating the empty smoothie glass.  Hmm, more?

We were actually listening to some music at this spot.

These gals were cool and even sang a kitty song for Akasha!

Akasha got drawn to this improv comedy show and watched the whole thing!  I think this is the first show she has ever been interested in watching!  (And yes, there is more smoothie there lol.)

At the end of the day, A spent a long time chasing bubbles this guy was making...

... and getting in  his way lol.

She really enjoyed the finished windsock!

We spotted these little fairy dolls and home on the way out and played for a bit.  :)

Long day over. 

Random photo - don't remember where or why :)

Some Garden Photos

It is coming along nicely and the tomatillos are loaded! The bees also really love the tomatillo flowers.

Wine bottle border!

A Package from Sarah!

We got a package in the mail that was full of birthday things for Akasha and me!

Snuck this sucker in just before GAPS starting.  Going to have to let Sissy know we are going off sugar for awhile, but for now, that is one happy girl!

Look what mama got!!!  Gorgeous!

Akasha is in love with jewelry box.  It has puppies on it and plays music.

And has little secret drawers!

Akasha also enjoyed the box lol.

There was also a princess mirror to decorate, but some of the stuff ended up on Akasha's face haha.
