Last Summer Day
Not the last day of summer – that was a couple of weeks ago.
I was out last night watching the moonrise … in a T-shirt! The wind wasn’t blowing and – while the day’s temperature was in the unseasonable low 80s – the temperature didn’t drop at sunset like it normally does.
I woke up early – still dark – and went out to see the world.
Wow! It was warm out (it still is) – and not windy; apparently the low last night was 72 … normal is high 30s
Going to be mid-80s today. The predicted high for tomorrow is 10 degrees less than the low last night – 62. And no better for the reasonable future. But with occasional rain.
I likely won’t see 80s here for another 6 months.
I used to like winter. I missed it when I lived in the southern deserts. I wanted to be a reverse snowbird – deserts in the summer, mountains in the winter.
I’m ready for Memorial Day.

Yes, Wednesday a perfect day with just a touch of chill in the air. Today rain and cold. These Pacific Northwest winters can be depressing.
