May 2018
Here in Portland, May is the prize that we all get to share in after the long rainy season; even those of us who aren’t particularly good sports about the darker, colder months. As the days grow warmer and the bare trees give way once again to color and fullness, we’re reminded of how lucky we are to live and raise our families in such a spectacular place. May brings us the beginning of The Portland Rose Festival, the return of our beloved Farmers Markets, CSAs and Street Fairs, and a chance to put our rain boots away and dust off our sandals. It also brings us the opportunity to clean away the cobwebs, both literally and figuratively, and start making plans for summer. As the school year wraps up and we make our final decisions about summer camps and travel, we find ourselves exhaling just a bit and breathing in the sweet smell of a Portland spring. Whether you hope to seek adventure, hit the Oregon coast, or are just happy to kick back on your porch with a good book, I think you’ll find some inspiration in these pages.
Cheers!
