Color Scheming: Junker Gardens
I got my wish. The weather in L.A. has been very Seattle-like, especially yesterday. And I hated it. Here’s hoping it’s sunshine-y and warm this long weekend.
Downtown Discovery: Junker Gardens
I know what you’re thinking. Where in downtown Los Angeles might one find such a beautiful assortment of flowers? Try one of the junker gardens planted around Farmlab. I want one!
Ride
My weekend was a quiet, quaint suburban affair, thanks for asking. Prior to making it out to the SGV, we stumbled upon the Amgen Tour Festival going on near LA Live, where I snapped this photo.

Downtown Dining: WoodSpoon
Finally got to try the famed chicken pot pie at WoodSpoon last week. And it was soooo good. I’m still thinking about it.
