This year Emma and I volunteered for the Autumn Lights Festival with the bonsai garden. We help set up and also worked the event for two of the nights. Emma was able to explore the festival solo which was very exciting for them.

Saturday was hot for Oakland so I decided it was time for a change of scenery. I wanted to stretch my legs and it was a day of walking around the city. I was so thankful that it was an adventure I was ready to take on. Feeling almost back to normal (after months with long covid).
We took the ferry back home.
maiki made cucumber mint elderflower gin coolers. They were super tasty!
The Oakland municipal band concerts have returned to the lakeside park after a two year hiatus. We will be there every sunday from 1-3pm this month!
