Seattle Sun

The bluest skies you’ve ever seen are in Seattle.
Except that they are often obscured by clouds.

As my mother says, “You can get the worst sunburn on a cloudy day.”
Yesterday was kind of one of those days.
It was overcast, with hints of blue sky that never took over.

At the end of the day you feel like you have been out in the sun all day, except that you have not.
It was just cool enough to wear out a cold soul like me.
But warm enough that warm bodies were OK with a shirt and maybe a light sweatshirt.
It was not hot enough to consider that you might be getting some color added to the winter pallor of your skin.

Don’t worry Mom(s), nothing too bad, just a nice pink glow.
Mostly on Ashlan’s friend, a Boulderite, who does not understand that the rays come through clouds, because Boulder has 300 days of sun a year. The rest are not worth worrying about.
We will have the sunscreen with us today.
And hopefully the sun will shine.

And for those that are keeping track – I think Ashlan had a fun time out all day yesterday.
She did get carded ordering a beer at the restaurant, and got the drink she requested.
She also says thank you to all that sent her birthday wishes.
