We've had a few clear, crisp, and frosty mornings here in the Pacific Northwest the past couple of weeks. I paused on the way to my car one of those mornings, running a little late for work, but the frost on my cedar fence caught my eye. (Yes, I'm distracted by shiny things!)

contentment

I am very easily entertained... I really, truly find joy in the simple things. That's not to say I don't ever get bored--I do! But most of the time I can find something to do or I am content to just be... especially when in good company.

One of my favorite little joys is watching the weather. Not the monotonous, boring gray sheet of clouds that we have nine months of the year in the Pacific Northwest--but the dynamic weather systems moving across the horizon.

Finally!

Summer has come to the Pacific Northwest! Yay! It's taken until July to really show its face... not that any of us should be surprised.

Of course, now that it is here... I'm gone. Figures.

At least I'm somewhere equally sunny: good ol' San Diego.

Although I found it slightly ironic that I left the stereotypically rainy/gray place to go to the sunny place to find that the sunny place is actually slightly cooler and cloudier than my rainy/gray home.

Here's the forecast for Bremerton/Seattle this week:

And for San Diego:

The differences aren't huge by any means... San Diego is a few degrees cooler (although Bremerton/Seattle gets much cooler at night... I'm going to miss that) and is forecast to have more clouds and slightly more chance of precipitation.

I just hope that the PNW summer sticks around long enough for me to enjoy it when I get back! I have a bridal shower to host and beaches to visit!

And that wraps up my weather report.

Stay Classy, [your hometown]-ites.
