I'm Back!

After over four months of not posting at all, I've been inspired to pick it up again. I was lucky enough to meet a fellow CDP poster, my friend from Versailles Daily Photo, this morning. We met over coffee as she was in town visiting friends. It was a wonderful experience and I hope to return the favour sometime in the near future and visit her hometown in France. My visit with her inspired me to pick this blog up again, so here we are. This is not what we enjoyed today, but next time she comes to town I think we shall experience the Patisserie...and she can tell me how close their pastries are to true French patisserie goodies. This is gelato (not French, I know) and spiced cider I enjoyed about a month ago at the Colville St. Patisserie in Walla Walla. Thank you, VDP, for getting me back on the bandwagon!

Jacobi's

This is a downtown restaurant that used to be a train station. When I first came to town for college in 2001, the restaurant was called Jacobi's. About two years ago the owner sold it and it was renamed "The Depot Grill," which in my opinion is a much worse name, but no one cares what I think! Recently it was resold to the original owner, I believe, and it is now Jacobi's again, from what I can tell. However the building still says otherwise, so I'm not exactly sure! This restaurant is an American grill, but they also make pasta. I've only eaten here once, because they don't have a whole lot for vegetarians.

Fall Colours 7

In spite of the cold weather, there are still a few sunflowers hanging on to life this season. These are at a museum in Milton-Freewater (I'll do a series of the museum soon).

Fall Colours 6

My husband and I went for a walk last week and I, of course, brought my camera. This tree caught my eye, with its festive berries brightly coloured against the blue-grey sky.

Still holding onto some of its summer glory, this leaf on a tree outside my home is slowly giving way to the inevitability of autumn.

Fall Colours 4

Here is the produce section of Klicker's. I love the colours! It's so festive for this time of year. To the right of the picture is the ice cream shop where they serve ice cream made in-house. Behind me is the antique shop, which I didn't go into this time.

On the east end of town, past the community college and before you get to Rooks Park, is a place called Klicker's. Famous for their strawberries in the summer, Klicker's also grows and sells Christmas trees in December and, as you can see here, pumpkins in the fall. We went with some friends and had a lot of fun walking around and taking pictures. With the pumpkins is also a large pile of hay you can climb, with a slide to get down again, and reindeer you can watch. They also have a shop where they sell produce, ice cream, and, randomly, antiques. I'll show you a picture tomorrow.
