Hello Blog-world!


Summer seems to have finally gotten it's foot in the door here in Portland. Last week I was wearing my winter coat, boots, and scarves....yesterday I wore shorts, a tank, and sun glasses!

Crazy Portland!


I am so happy for the great weather though. So happy. Josh and I had 2 lovely BBQs this weekend, and I took an amazing kombucha making class from Lion Heart Kombucha and now I have my very own batch brewing away in the cupboard!

I am so excited about it that I am telling simply everyone and giving them details like "And did you know that chickens love to eat old SCOBYs? Isn't that neat? They go crazy for them!"

Yep, I'm that friend.


(p.s. a SCOBY is the symbiotic culture or bacteria and yeast that makes kombucha what it is.)


If you like kombucha, or even if you're not sure, buy some from Lion Heart, it's delicious, better than store bought, healthier, and local. (And even cheaper than the store brands if you can believe it!)

I regret only getting a half gallon when I was out there last....
I'll leave you with this photo. Our dog is gravity defying.
