I heard this helps with allergies. I went to the Mercer Island farmers market and found blackberry, blueberry, and knotweed honeys (which were all delicious) but I’m looking for local wildflower honey specifically. anyone have a source? Thanks in advance!
I mean it has already, but it still does too
Arrived back home from Vietnam last night. Woke at 5 in the morning with a heavy heart and decided to walk. I had suffered through bad dreams all night. I pulled on socks and shoes instead of sandals, layered up, and stepped outside into crisp air that cut deep. Such a contrast to the humid air that enveloped you like a warm hug. The sun had just begun to rise, ethereally beautiful. Serene blues and wispy white clouds. The distant grinding of the freeway was the first thing to assault my ears, yet somewhere in my mind I could still hear the faint murmur of street vendors and motorbikes. As I walked, I passed someone and offered a good morning with a smile. It was met with a sideways glance and eyes full of suspicion.
I made my way to the grocery store and was flanked by security guards and barriers. Searching for a coffee or juice the way I had every morning for the past month in Vietnam. Walking the aisles, I found myself listless and longing, staring blankly at rows of artificially colored cans and bottles. I read the ingredients and saw preservatives upon preservatives. I thought of the pure freshly squeezed watermelon and kumquat juices I had so effortlessly grown accustomed to. The bold, rich coffee available on every street corner that was nowhere to be found here, and wouldn't be for another six hours when an American Vietnamese café might open. Even then, I already knew I'd be let down.
Thinking of breakfast, I surveyed the sprawling concrete parking lot and found only fast food, my eyes searching for a bánh mì cart I knew wouldn't be there. The extra layer had taken the edge off the morning chill. But it did nothing for the cold I felt in my chest and the quiet, settled ache of returning to a place that felt more like home than this country ever did.
hey, my gf and I are headed to sky36 tomorrow for some drinks and entertainment. if you don’t already have plans, come join us! Be prepared to dance, or if you’re too shy we can talk dreams while viewing the skyline :) we’ll probably be there around 9pm.
we are in our mid twenties to thirties and come from Washington State. Always interested in meeting new people and learning new cultures!
just bought today! Never had one of these before but heard good things. started out on a vstar650 and had a couple sport bikes. it’s been a few years since riding but I’m excited to take her out this summer. definitely needs an oil change and new rear tire, hopefully nothing else
