After a classic Seattle June-uary and what had been looking increasingly like Febr-uly, can it be that summer is finally here? Clear skies, mid-70s… let’s hope this lasts!

And since our work-from-home has been extended now through the beginning of January, I’m going to soak up as much of this as I can on the roof. The jasmine and first round of gardenias may be fading, but we’re now into the second flourishing of the roses, so all is well.
