summers in the northwest
Attention: Californians. Visited Oregon lately? Thought, “Oh, how lovely!” Well, here’s our summer for you:
When I woke up this morning I initially thought that I had overslept for work by four months and was looking out my window at October. Then I remembered that summers west of the Cascades sometimes include pouring down torrential summer rains. At least it was warm out so I could close my eyes and pretend it was tropical summer rain in Puerto Vallarta, although this illusion disappeared quickly when I looked around and saw that I was actually waiting to catch the train with a bunch of hippies.
The clouds hung around for most of the day, clearing up as the day drew to a close, which worked out fine for me since I enjoy watching the colors of the sunset playing across the clouds.
All I gotta say is, if this summer has any more raining to do then it had better get it out of its system tonight and tomorrow morning, because I want the sun to come out and dry things out for the weekend. And not just for me, although obviously I’d enjoy a sunny Saturday — I happen to know someone who is having an outdoor wedding this Saturday, and she deserves a clear blue sky and a plenty of blooming sunflowers.
