Short Spring?

This year has been unusual in the Pacific Northwest. More rain than I have ever seen before in my life.

The last few days it has been sunny with the temperatures in the seventies however rain is expected again for the next several days.

The rainfall has been nearly thirty inches and that doesn’t happen until October. At least the positive is that we did have sun for a few days.

The Pacific Northwest is a wonderful place to visit when the sun comes out. Hiking in the mountains and walking along so many waterfronts. My hometown of Gig Harbor is a wonderful place to walk along with other places like nearby Port Orchard.

I hope that the spring will not be short and that the sun will come out once again. The wind has been blowing a lot this year as well. It is nice and feels good when the sun is out however when it rains the opposite feeling occurs.  For us that have lived here a long time we are accustomed to the rain and wind to some degree but those who haven’t lived here long are having trouble with it. This year the rainy season being long has made it tiresome for us all. What we look forward to is the summer season. No place more beautiful than the Pacific Northwest during the summer. There are many shops to visit along with the trails where you can walk or ride a bike. No problem getting coffee or a smoothie too. Spring we look forward to more sunny days. We don’t want you to be short.
