The First Week of Summer…Artful Living…& Strawberry Pie

Summertime is always the best of what might be.

Hello, sweet friends…

Happy Summer!

My calendar is littered with cancelled events & vacation plans…and has been filled with… nothing.

But wait. There is still fun to be had…

the adventure of discovering ways to enjoy this summer…

coming up with ideas for how to entertain…

social distancing gatherings with family and friends…

while still staying safe.

Now more than ever I am so grateful to live in an area surrounded by rivers…forests…and of course the ocean.

This past week Joe & I visited Golden and Silver Falls State Park a beautiful hidden gem in the dense coastal forests of southwest Oregon.


Located a little over an hour away…and where the last 3-miles actually narrow to a one lane gravel road making it an out of the ordinary trip…

and…

perfect adventure.

I’m curious what kind of summer adventures you will be creating this year…
