Free Box Finds! Records!

I found the most awesome records in a free box this evening. Nerdy but awesome. All kinds of old music and the records are in near perfect condition.

Also I should probably really invest in a record player. A record player and Eric Lubarsky to listen to this old classical music with me. 

Also, Portlandia is no lie. Maybe they're stereotypes but it's what drew me to this place. It's a whole new way of life. I love it.

Spring Water Corridor and Sellwood

...And then I found the Spring Water Corridor  (40 mile bike loop) and Sellwood but only had an hour until the sun went down.

I went 5 miles deep and saw a wildlife refuge, a cute little creek, all kinds of beautiful flowers, a small amusement park, nature preserve, and all kinds of potential exploration spots without names. 

It's a little industrial on one side but the trail follows the Willamette River and there's some pretty greenery in the distance if you look past the gravel of construction.  

Also Sellwood if I ever make enough money as an artist and don't have to get up super early to make the coffee for America you shall be my home spot. 

I love you Portland, Oregon. I love you so much. I keep finding new adventure spots. I can't wait to see this trail in the Fall! 

No pictures this go round, but I know where I will spending my down time when I want to escape the city noise. 

Another Day in Portlandia...

I woke up about 8:30 this morning and talked with Smoggie Catt a little and fell back asleep until about 10:45am. I wish I would just get my lazy ass out of bed when I wake up the first time. ​

Woke up, made some ​scrambled eggs, took, out the trash and wandered down to Stumptown and got the americano I've been longing to have for a few days now.

The skies are blue and the sun is out and it's a fresh 68 degrees with a cool breeze. ​I love the smell of fresh food being cooked and watching all the happy people walk down the sidewalks.

It makes me really excited to get a harness and take Smoggie Catt for walks. It's a whole new world of adventure just waiting to happen. It makes me smile just thinking of the potential pictures to be taken. I love that fluff puff so much!
