The 23rd year of Oregon Brewers Festival
http://oregonbrewfest.com/
http://oregonbrewfest.com/
The last full weekend in July will find us and many more
lined up at the multitude of beer taps tasting all the
new delicious brews. We always go the first day so as to
not miss any especially lipsmacking good hoppy beers.
Additionally, another entertaining part of the day
is the people watching and T-shirt reading. Cheers!

Somehow I don't think he's working on his tan...
This is one of the best t-shirts seen this year....

Stuck in traffic? Take photos!
I spent 15 minutes in summer road construction-
there are worse places to be than this bucolic site!
Further on I was at a rather long red light- serendipity strikes again!!
This is the latest Lake Oswego aquisition for it's "Gallery without Walls".
Sculptures are placed around the city in a rotation of two years and
residents vote once a year which one they want to keep.
This elephant was the favorite this year.
I am not sure where this elephant was going-
I assume to it's new site.

Luscher Farm Barn with Sunflower
Meanwhile, back in our neighborhood-our neighbors behind us have added to their backyard barnyard.Beside the lovely Aracana chickens they now have two Pygmy goats.
They hope to eventually rent out these two
Billy goats (neutered) for brush removal!
In our little city one can have barnyard animals in the backyard as long as they don't weigh more than 45 pounds and that no one complains- and who would? I'd rather hear a little goat going "Baa baa baa" than a noisy dog barking all day long!!! It's rather amusing to me!
Their names are Billy and Noah. Very cute little goats.

My Garden is Growing!After being gone for 9 days I went
to my little garden yesterday at
Luscher Farm to see what I could pick .
Wow! I had a yellow zucchini, lots of spinach,
kale and basil. Even some more asparagus!
So I made a tasty soup and will make a
dessert today from the rhubarb I pulled out!
Yum-it's good to be home!
