Missing Those Summer Days

Today, December 29, is downright gloomy. We are having a typical Pacific Northwest storm. The skies are dark. The wind is blasting against our house and whistling down the street. We have had enough rain that J and Sasha came back from their morning walk completely drenched, despite J's raincoat and boots.

We have been very fortunate this winter to have a number of days/ parts of days where we could spend time outside. Two days ago, J and Toe had a great game of catch in the park. Today is not one of those. It's the kind of day that, if you grew up on the coast here, you remember from your childhood.

So, I'm choosing to share some photos from adventures we had this summer, when we wore single layers and felt the sun on our faces.
