Today was absolutely gorgeous here in the Pacific Northwest. I mean, Hawaii would be jealous, gorgeous.
The temperature was a warm 65 and the sky was deep blue and sun was brilliant.
It's days like this that make everyone love the NW. Yes, we have our rain and that keeps everything nice and green.
But days like today are like our own private reward for being tolerant and biding our time in the rain.
There is no place on the planet more beautiful than Seattle (and the Olympic Peninsula) on a sunny day. Hands down. And I have lived in a LOT of traditionally sunny places, where people spend lots of money to go on fabulous vacations because of the sun and palm trees.
Nope, they've got nothing on the Pacific Northwest.
So thank you Mr. Sun for gracing us with your presence today. You have been dearly missed and we are so happy to have you back.
On a totally related side note...due to the presence of the big shiny yellow orb, the flowers, trees and grass have decided to wake up from their long winters nap.
Yes, this is very pretty...it also causes massive headaches due to my severe allergies to all things native to my home.
This caused many problems when I was a child...something I conveniently forgot when I was desperate to move back home.
So I will have to make an appointment with my doctor and get some good allergy medication because I don't plan on leaving my paradise any time soon.

I agree whole-heartedly! The weather has been so gorgeous these past few days, and we've been soaking it in as much as possible. Unfortunately, we've got those some allergies and I feel your pain!
Stuffy head aside, days like these make me sad to be leaving the area :(
I'm sad you're leaving too! Not fair!
