That’s the headline in this morning’s Seattle Times. This is my last whine about weather but I can’t pass up the observation that yesterday’s high temperature of 58 degrees was lower than the day’s highs in Fairbanks, Alaska, Oslo, Norway, and Tomsk, Siberia.

OK; it’s June 6 for goodness sakes! We’re ready for something less than winter at least. The forecast calls for three inches of snow in the mountain passes less than fifteen miles east of us. I’ve always accused the natives of being weather wimps; now I’m one too. Last year the June 6 high temp was 63 degrees; a lot more reasonable than our miserable 50. I see a tiny ray of hope for Sunday:

It’s a typical spring weather week: cool, mix of showers, clouds and an occasional peak at the sun. It’s great for the plants–everything is growing like crazy including the slugs. A big challenge is finding enough dry days to get the lawn cut.
