Aug 9, Bend, Part 3: Megaflowers - Breakfast at Nancy P's

It's on the border between downtown and residential, and its yard is overflowing with life, both green and colorful.

I had actually wanted oatmeal for breakfast, but Adam wanted Ashley to experience Nancy P's. It's a bakery. They didn't have oatmeal. Oddly, I wasn't in the mood for quiche (which is excellent here), so I ate some bad things that tasted wonderful - a carrot cake cupcake with tons of frosting, and a bran muffin with berries that was to die for. The weather was great. Here's Adam at our outdoor table in front of a hanging basket of purple petunias.

On the other side of the patio were pink petunias. Can this place grow flowers, or what?

A twining vine.

Sunflowers.

Translucent purple petunias. I love this! The flowers above surrounded us on the patio.

Some young apples on a tree near the dining patio. It really takes me back to some of my favorite things about Grandma's house - all gone now.

Lovely flowers along the sidewalk at Nancy P's.

Queen Anne's lace.

There's a wonderful combination of vegetation here - the flowers, the pines, the apple tree above.

More flowers along the sidewalk.

This is probably a gaillardia. I learned the name today.

Lots of gaillardia. Long may they bloom!
