Temperatures are likely to be at or above 100 for 6 days in a row in Redmond, which will fall short of the record of 7 days in a row set in 1968 and 2022. Bend is probably going to tie the record number of days (4) with highs at or above 100 set in 2022.

I would not go as far as saying it looked like daylight out at New Freedom Farm, but there are some nice shadows from the moon tonight. The Cat Stevens song "Moonshadow" comes to mind. Anyone else old enough to remember Cat Stevens?

Olivia is turning 13, Lois and my friends at New Freedom Farm are throwing her a birthday party. Olivia is dealing with an incurable disease and has not been able to see many of her friends and family due in part to Covid. So, your invited to a Covid safe party outside tomorrow.
Here is the info from New Freedom Farm....

Special 13TH Birthday Party for Olivia Eubanks! Olivia is the granddaughter of a Vietnam veteran. Olivia also has an incurable disease that has sadly caused her to be isolated. New Freedom Farm is hosting a covid safe birthday party for Olivia here at the farm. We will practice all safe covid procedures. Please join us for pizza and cupcakes!

This is from Olivia’s mother, "Got to celebrate today for my little girl who is now 13. She had to spend her birthday last week at Cinci hosp having tests and procedures and stuff. We were gone for 4 days. She has been so sad and down about the whole deal. No party. No friends over. Remote school. But it is for the best "COVID" change has affected the world. But for those like Olivia who walk around daily with an incurable disease that controls their life. I see it affecting her mentally a lot here lately. I see it attacking her system since we found out about it day 1. I see it doing its powerful thing, I see it damaging parts of her that I cannot fix , and I see me being unable to do anything about it. I hate everything about this disease. But what I do not hate and what I love tremendously is the amount of support we have always been shown from our families and friends and this community..."

Founded in 2016, New Freedom Farm is for veterans, first responders and the family members of those suffering from ptsd and or substance abuse, the farm is free for all veterans, first responders and the family members. The program is unique in that it is unstructured, no demographics are collected and wild mustangs and or rescued equines are part of their program.
