I just received my Proclamation for OR for #LakesAppreciation month! Guess I was so excited I accidentally tore it and mail delivery folded to fit my mailbox.

We are devastated by the tragedy unfolding in Texas ❤️‍🩹 Our hearts go out to those who have been lost and who are currently missing, their families and friends, and to all rescuers and searchers.

Celebrating the beauty that the United States has to offer this #IndependenceDay. Let's all work together to keep our country kind and colorful and welcoming, and to safeguard our waterbodies for the generations to come 💙
