In the early morning, the sky was still overcast and the air cool … and it was wonderful to be in my little skin-on kayak, floating on the Willamette River!

Said I would and I did … fabulous afternoon wine

Said I would and I did … fabulous afternoon wine tasting at Pam Walden’s Willful Wine. Well crafted, Oregon (and some Washington) grapes, wild yeasts. Pam puts a lot of passion and skill into her wines. Stop by her laid back winery near #pdx airport for a tasting.

So a little cadre of five friends had to give up our monthly catch-up brunches at the start of COVID. We zoomed our way through it, meeting online most Saturdays. A gift! As things opened up, we slowly got together, a couple of us walking, a few visiting, etc. We recently took a great little trip out to the Columbia River Gorge. But today! We resumed our brunch. And THAT too was a gift. Gotta love your #friends !! (Been awhile since I’ve been in #oldwillamettefallsdrive too)

Definitely need to learn more about the wines at Willful Wines. This Tempranillo was superb. Oregon grapes. Wild yeasts. Terroir-driven. Owner and winemaker Pam Walden defines Willful as “determined, pertinacious, unruly, wild.” GreAt qualities in wine … and women!

Oh, the flavors! Fabulous dinner tonight at Fuego All Day in Happy Valley. Started with the #ceviche of the day and then dug into #birria tacos (omg! that dipping sauce!) and a #carnitas bowl that hit all the right points. Will be back to try some of those daily specials!

Skate. Skate. Skate. The seaside Promenade is celebrating its 100th year. However you get from Avenue U to 12th Avenue and back again … the coast, the waterfront homes, and the people watching are great fun.

Heron or eagle tracks? Could be either at the Necanicum estuary. Have seen plenty of both! Necanicum River meets Pacific Ocean.

Scenes from a coastal Oregon 4th! Without official

Scenes from a coastal Oregon 4th! Without official fireworks this year, this was the most laidback 4th of July I can remember in all the years I’ve been. No complaints. Great to spend time with family and friends doing everything but the big show. And the takeaway? You’ve always done a big bang up #fireworks show, Seaside, but maybe it’s not needed! People are still going to bring their own as always and they’re still going to come for the beach and for all the other fun!

Clematis at the beach. During Portland’s recent record-breaking heatwave (with temps of 116!!) I watched the demise of quite a few of my plants, even with attentive watering. So this simple clematis was especially lovely

I know, I know how all of you in hot climes laugh

I know, I know how all of you in hot climes laugh at us here in the western Pacific Northwest when we moan about our rare heatwaves. But 110 is no joke out here. Stay cool. Lay low or get out of town. Check in on your neighbors, especially the elderly and those without air. Drink liquids. Plants can be replaced. Breathe.
.
Oh, the drink! Fresh grapefruit juice blended with (just) splashes of sparkling wine and soda water. Stay cool, y’all!
