Sun In Seattle, But Not Spring

After months of hearing me bitch about the weather in fair Seattle, a friend of mine challenged me to write about the sun yesterday. It was sunny yesterday. And warm. So nice that I took a drive on our city's viaduct, an odd elevated waterfront freeway that, strangely, offers the best views in the city. At times, you could see the snow-capped Olympics and, to the East, the snow-capped Cascades. I enjoyed the sun. It was good for my mood. Today began sunny as well.

It will begin raining again before the day ends and rain throughout the weekend. Sadly, we don't get a real spring here until late-April and summer doesn't begin until after the Fourth of July.

But yesterday was sunny. Duly noted.

Phil,

Sending you bright warm sunshine from here as well.

I see daffs and crocuses blooming, it makes me happy.

The sun has been out for a few days you hermit.

Get off of that viaduct, what are you thinking man. I drove 2 nights ago at sunset from the hills to the Waterfront to Golden Gardens, with the window down and couple of Boston CD's had me smiling like an idiot.

I love how you ended the sunshine post with a weather report of rain. :)

Last year Summer fell on a Sunday in Washington, so more people got to enjoy it...

Last year 43 people fell off their bicycles in Washington....and drowned....

Just so we can all be reminded Philip is always right; it began raining at 2:00pm today. Damn.
