The "Corn Moon" was a sight this week, huge and bright pink from the California wildfire smoke drifting north. Beautiful but eerie.
We've had less than a half inch of rain in Seattle since late June. Our summers here are usually dry, but now the atmosphere is getting into a strange pattern for September, with strong easterly winds and hot temperatures. It's the type of windstorm we typically get during the wet winter months, so fire danger throughout the Northwest is extremely high this week.
We spent the Labor Day weekend at home, of course, as this strange summer quietly draws to a close. There's none of that feeling of fall anticipation-- crisp weather, school starting, new projects, travel, family visits, concerts.
And now we're rounding the corner to the holidays again. How can that be? No one will be sorry when awful 2020 is finally in the rear-view mirror.
