The Good. The Random. The Fun. v. 28

The Good: 
Not too much excitement last week while I recovered...but I did get a perfect avocado...it's the little things.

The Random:
My grad school was recently absorbed by Boston Unversity. So now all my alumni things come from B.U. it's going to take some adjusting!

The Fun:
I got the all clear to resume all activities and instantly laced back up. Love the treadmill classes Heartbreak offers and had an easy 2.5ish miles Friday. I then spent the next day a lump on the couch...but baby steps?

Rose Garden

A rose by any other name... 

would smell as sweet...

{Romeo and Juliet -- Shakespeare}

I took a walk through the Portland International Rose Garden when I visited last week. 
I hadn't been there in a few years and it is always exciting to see the new test roses and all the wondrous varieties they have. 
So many colors. So many shapes. So many wonderful smells!

The Good. The Random. The Fun. v. 27

The Good: 
I am in love with Avi, Ben, and the boys' dog Matty. She is just so sweet and fluffy!!

The Random:
After 30 years of near chronic sinus issues, including 5 sinus infections since October (I even ran Boston with one!) I finally had sinus surgery Friday. My awesome doc said it was a success (and needed) and I've been laying low on the couch. I'm not good at slowing down and working hard at resting up!

The Fun:
After we went berry picking we went to a lavender farm! It smelled SO good!

A fun colorful pattern on a brick wall.

Doesn't everyone do photo shoots with their fresh vegetables before cooking them?

A Plant:

A very soggy plant!

Straight:

Straight rows of books at Powell's.

Freedom:

A tricky and sensitive subject for many of us here right now. May we all remember the sweet freedom our founding fathers and mothers fought for.
