Hey #Oregon,

What do you call this?

Is it a "panhandle"? A "cowlick" maybe?

Such beautiful animals. They can be troublesome, moody neighbors, but it's worth every inconvenience to have an elk herd so close. They were here first.

Soon.

Peak buttercup in the Oregon coast range. We did get a few drops of rain there today, but mostly my perfect outdoor work weather - a little sun, a lot of bright overcast, sea breeze, not too hot or cold. I'll go back to complaining about heat tomorrow, but today was good.

Me: “Oh! It’s April 3! I should get my tyres swapped over before I head out of the country for a week!”

PNW weather: “Ha! NO!”
