Well, I like to call it summer because "officially" today is the Solstice and the first day of summer. It hasn't felt like it too much yet. The grass is green - yes, the lilacs are in bloom - nearly 1 month later than usual, and I have unpacked my shorts and skirts - but haven't had too many days to wear them. Like the rest of the country we are experiencing LOTS of water - from our big snow amounts from winter to the seemingly endless rain, I sometimes feel like I am in Seattle, not Livingston, Montana. But, I can't complain too much... It is beautiful here and I love not being too hot, but I will admit that wearing my down jacket one morning this week was a bit much.
Regardless, we are pressing on with our house projects, camping, playing outside (even in the rain) and summer BBQ's with friends. If the weather won't change, we will just ignore it! Here are some snapshots of life these days in Seattle with a very rambunctious 2 year old.
