Pretty as a picture
Feb. 12th, 2018 10:00 amWe've had something of a heat wave so far this month, with temperatures getting up to the mid-70s. Flowering trees are blooming everywhere. My almond tree (that I planted last year) has flowers all over it. I imagine it will get to be pretty spectacular when the tree is bigger.
My parents and I took a trip up to Japantown yesterday for some shopping. I was looking for some Japanese tour books for our upcoming trip to Hokkaido this summer. Kinokuniya was rearranging their shelves, so they didn't have as much of a selection as I remembered from previous visits, but I did pick up a couple of travel guide magazines.
Upon flipping through the magazines, I was amused to note that there was a whole section dedicated to "photogenic food." The guide tells people where to go to find food that would make good pictures on social media.
We also had our annual canine evaluations last week. Brooke passed, thankfully. No need to worry about it again for another year.
We got a free front door from a neighbor that has a gorgeous window in it (my current door is solid wood). My dad has been spending a lot of time getting it shaped and painted to fit my doorway. It should be ready to put in place soon. It should look really nice when it's installed.
