Gorgeous spring day along the river in our neighborhood.

Sunday morning vibes.

A weekend on the Oregon coast never fails to rejuvenate.

I love how muffled the city becomes when it’s covered in snow.

And…. home!

Halfway home

Chilly retreat in western Mass

New year, new adventures!

A day well spent 🎄🎄

Happy holidays to one and all! 🥂🎄🕎🕯️🍾🥂

Weekend Plans 🧩

Hiking on Grandfather Mountain, NC

Hikes are better with a buddy.

Winter storms.

Roadtrips are good for the soul.

City crows.

Final food post of the Thanksgiving weekend -- no better way to 'wind down' than with coffee and beignets.

Thanksgiving weekend is giving thanks, but also... food. So this weekend, I am grateful for many things—large and small—which include road trip memories like this. A stupendously good roadside 'burger joint' stop near St. Helena, CA. Tuna tacos, burger, fries, and world-class wines by the glass.

Time to get in the kitchen!

Ghost Town

Beauty from our balcony. Portland is such a great place to live.

The Oregon coast is a magical place. It should be on everyone's bucket list.

Go find a forest. It’s good for you. That’s science.

Fall, you never let us down. 🍁

No better feeling than to be tucked away in the great outdoors, far from the maddening crowds—online or off. 📚

Sometimes you just need to sit down, unplug, and take a break.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Who can guess where this view is?
