Seasons are different here than in Ohio. The leaves on the maple trees on our street started turning red in midAugust. Roses bloom all summer. Many rose bushes are still full of blossoms the end of September.
Kirkland has an Oktoberfest every fall. It's held at Marina Park in downtown Kirkland. It was all set up when we were at the park recently.
This picture is a great example of the diversity in this area. We'd just had dinner at Alanya, a small cafe owned by a couple from Turkey. We walked across the street to have Italian gelato at Sirena's. On our way the owner of Cafe Happy walked past us, recognized us and said hello. She and her family came here from Taiwan. The German oompah band from Oktoberfest played in front of Sirena's. Several families from India stopped so their children could dance to the music. This is America Kirkland-style.
We do love this community!
