Praying for rain! It seems strange to say that here in Portland, where the rainfall is legendary. But it's been dry for months and now wildfires are consuming our forests.

The ash is falling from the sky like snow and the air is thick with smoke. We spent last night hunkered down in our one room with AC to help filter out the smoke. We ate a picnic dinner on the bedroom floor.

It's heartbreaking to think of our beloved Columbia River Gorge blackened by fire. We have gone on many magical adventures there over the years...

At least the temps are coming down a bit this week. Now if the rains would just start...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lee's art book starts shipping tomorrow!

We've been waiting for this day a LONG time!

Lee started showing his own artwork at art fairs back in 2010, and people there would always ask if he had any books of his work. But life kept us super busy until finally in 2016, when he decided to see if he could get it funded on Kickstarter.

It tooks months of preparation before we even launched the campaign in October 2016. Then came several months of designing, writing and copy editing. Then came several more months of printing and proofing the book, which took much longer than anticipated. We learned a lot along the way!

But now it's finally here! We will be working day and night to get these out in the next couple weeks 😀 Thanks again to all who took part!
