It’s hot but manageable out there. If I don’t have to move quickly, it’s ok. Just watered the garden and hot weather veg are loving it! Made sure to have a few water dishes out for wildlife, plus our fountain is running to cool things down. Glad for our heat pump cooling function inside, ngl.
And Ryan Roadhouse (Nodoguro) won the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Northwest & Pacific (AK, HI, OR, WA). More congrats to him! Not bad, Portland. Not bad.

Last week we went to the Freeland Spirits PDX location for their official ribbon cutting there, complete with samples of their PDX Bourbon (exclusive to the airport). The David Rice mural is beautiful, too. #freelandspirits #pdx #portland #bridgetownbites
