Judging by the blue sky in this photo, you can probably tell it was taken this summer. When Portland was warm, and the sun would actually stick around for a while.

Osa Update!
…or really just an excuse to dump a bunch of pictures of her on the blog.
She’s a sweetheart, and starting to teeth. Training her with Kyle has been an exercise in patience (towards her) and communication (between us). We’ve enrolled in puppy classes, and she’s gone through all her shots, so we’re pretty excited to get her out and about in the world–and hopefully behaving herself.
Local Color Series: 14th and Prescott
So this is a new idea I’ve been noodling on.
In an effort to create quick content that makes me feel creative and engaged with this blog, I’m starting a new color palette project I’m calling the “Local Color Series”.
When I’m out and about, I take a lot of pictures of this beautiful city I live in. Some are of store fronts, some are of neighborhoods- but I never really do anything with these pictures. Until now, when I’m going to start documenting the colors I like in the locales I visit.
This is from the cool drum shop near my house. Hope you enjoy this new series!
Love Bug
Remember how I’m probably a cat lady but with dogs?
I can’t seem to stop taking pictures of this little girl. I’m just going to embrace it and buy a bandana in every color for her to wear, since that’s the only thing Kyle will allow.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Weekend Snow RECAP!
Portland finally got an appreciable amount of snow this weekend! It was really fun…for the first few days. Then freezing rain, cabin fever, and a slight puppy accident (!) put a damper on my enjoyment of it.
We made the best of the weather with lots of indoor cozy fireside chats, slow cooker recipes, and stocking up on alcohol 🙂
The puppy of course loved the snow, but loved rushing into the house and planting herself next to the heater even more. You’ll notice below we sported vests, spun records, cooked, and enjoyed some of my grandma’s favorite brews, Miller 64!
On Saturday afternoon, I took Osa out to the backyard to play, and she managed to find broken shards of a mirror to dig at under the snow. She sliced up her paw pretty badly before I realized what was going on, so we made an emergency trip to the vet. Luckily, puppies heal quickly and she’s already out of the bandages and well on the mend today, but we had all of Sunday to look after this little cone head.
Now that everything is thawing and my puppy is back in action, I’m looking forward to a return to my normal routine.
Snow days are the best, but sometimes what’s best is realizing how good you have it every day 🙂
