June is here, and Oregon is showing off big time. Long sunny days, farmers markets bursting with flavor, and a calendar full of everything from park concerts to backyard hangs. One minute you’re grabbing berries at the market, the next you’re sipping wine in the gorge or dancing at a neighborhood block party. It’s the kind of month that makes you fall in love with where you live all over again.

If you’ve been craving more space, a new view, or just a fresh start, this is your sign. Take the long way home, say yes to last-minute plans, wander a little more. Here’s to soaking up every golden hour June throws our way.
