In the Pacific Northwest, it's expected for everyone to live a whole year in four months before we run inside our houses for the October through May rain showers. No doubt the Pacific Northwest's stretch from June to September is the greatest season on the face of the planet, but the beyond-capacity way we approach it seems to only allow enjoyment in retrospect.
The sun has stretched farther than ever this year, but I believe last night when it clouded over, we reached the crucial day. Next week the weather descends into gray and will stay there. While the sun was out we had some great memories (some of which I didn't share in my Vacation post). I thought I'd share some here.
