Okay, we officially had a summer fake-out because, for the last 3 days, it’s been cold. Just cold. Rainy, sometimes – but cold. While walking home from the store, and doing my usual “passing people so stare at the ground” move, I saw my socks & tall boots shuffling through all the rain-bludgeoned leaves, avoiding puddles (& wet, anyway) and thought: [Expletive.] (Which translates roughly to “Ugh, Seattle, why are you such a flake?”) I totally fell for 80ºF-in-May fake out! What a noob.

I know I’ll get more sun, soon, but damnit! I was just getting into the summer groove and now I’m just back to being an angsty, passive resident of the PacNW.
