Hot Hot Heat

I've always said summer is the best kept secret about Seattle. Sunny but not too hot, blazing sunsets and cool evenings. But this year spring came on strong (30+ days without precipitation in April/May) and now we're experiencing an incredible heat wave. Living in California, 90-100 degree weather was more common, but Seattle rarely sees the mercury climb above 90 and here we are, having a week of it. Today and tomorrow have the highest forecast numbers at 95 degrees.

Our garden is wilting, our grass completely brown. We spend the afternoons in the cool comfort of our basement. And after a couple of appointments today, that is where you'll find me as I continue to get "the green room" into shape.

  1. And we have had nothing, almost nothing, but gray skies and rain since we came home from California. Suddenly, our summer is gone! I'm in shock./ Kathleen
