Mid-winter Spring



"Bound by Nature"
Louise Richardson

Goodness, it was warm Monday afternoon.  Seattle hit 64 degrees, smashing the previous record high for the day of 58 degrees. People go crazy here when it suddenly warms up like that.  Sirens were going off all day with police and fire engines rushing around West Seattle.

I was out running errands and saw a couple of arrests with a big police response. Shoplifters?  This place is starting to feel like New York City. Well, the excitement is over.  Rain is back with cooler temperatures for the rest of the week. Snap out of it!  It's not Spring yet.


"Midwinter spring is its own season
Sempiternal though sodden towards sundown,
Suspended in time, between pole and tropic."

T.S. Eliot
Little Gidding

  1. Glad it was warm there. It was colder than the proverbial wedge here, with a low of 15F last night, and a high of 33F today. Currently, it's 17F.
