Yesterday I escaped Portland's heat and went up to Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood to watch another moon rise. Last time I was there was on 4th of July for that full moon.
Mount Hood is a potentially active volcano (so mostly dormant) and there is still snow up there and a few people were skiing.
I don't know the name of this flower because I think I never noticed it before but I really like it, it was everywhere and grows in clusters and the clusters look like groups of little beings standing around. Super cute!
The moon is showing itself.
The exterior of Timberline Lodge was used in The Shining. Kind of spooky actually.
So we have a heat wave arriving here starting tomorrow. An excessive heat warning is in effect from 10 am tomorrow until 11 pm on Monday. 107, 114 (that is 45.5 degrees Celsius by the way) and 110 the next three days. I was thinking about getting an AC a few months ago, now the same unit is about $130 more. I do not like feeling like I am getting bamboozled, which to me that is an example of so I am most likely going to escape the heat and go somewhere cooler tomorrow. Or find an AC somewhere.
