Nine months of rain

Well summer arrived big time in Washington. It's supposed to get up into the 80s this week-end. I was driving home from the office today and looked out to see Mt. Ranier looking like a postcard. What a gorgeous sight. It's not dark till almost 10:00pm and we are taking full advantage of the daylight and good weather. Bar-b-ques and hanging out outside with family and friends. All the flowers are in full bloom. Next week-end we will take a stroll up to the mountain and chill out at this great little mountain meadow that is so cool! Now I realize why we put up with all the drizzle, clouds, cold weather and rain for nine months. It's just for these next three months and it is worth it!!
