A Walla Walla Walk in the Rain

Today there are raindrops on roses, so here is a list of some of my favorite Walla Walla things (so far):

• Drivers pause for folks crossing the street, even if you are not in a crosswalk!
• Walla Walla Roastery pulls a world class espresso.
• The book shop always seems to be playing Sci-fi and fantasy soundtracks.  Yes, yes.. I linger longer if the BSG soundtrack is playing.
• The library is closer to my home than the taproom.
• The Patisserie.  Eat melon sorbet with the farmer who grew the melons.  And drink true macchiatos.  It makes my hippie hipster heart smile.
• Walks in the rain.  I might get to the point where rain no longer excites me.  Maybe.
• Watching wine tourists.
• Walking to fetch milk, or pillows, or furniture, or cash, or toys, or kitchenware, or baked goods, or...
• The multitude of lovely old homes in stellar condition.  Some are for sale.
• The many trees, of many kinds, some apparently champion.
• Friendly, helpful people.  Not everyone of course, but many.
• The young pianist at St. Paul's who plays not-churchy postludes.
• The abundance of people on foot and bicycle.
• The wind turbines.
• A few emails led to more canned craft beer on the grocery shelves. Go team beer!
• Learning about wine making, wheat and garbanzo harvests.
