Hodgepodge

We haven't done many picture worth things lately so I will just share a few of our day-to-day shots- a hodgepodge of our new life here in Portland. Jacques is getting better at feeding himself!

Here is a picture of the kale in front of the ecovillage. Just yesterday, they cleared this field and are going to put in 30 keyhole gardens, a childrens play area, a pond with 2 streams and a fruit tree orchard.

We decided to visit a famous doughnut shop - Voodoo Doughnuts. It has been featured on various tv shows and it is so popular people actually get married here. We went to the original location downtown which was a very small place with a walk up counter, one table and death metal music blaring down from speakers. There was a variety of voodoo and zombie related art on the walls and I didn't think to take a picture until we had already left so this will have to do--I ordered the voodoo doll. It had a pretzel stake through the heart and was filled with bright red rasberry jam.
