Spring, at long last

---

The weather for the last couple days in the Seattle area has been outstanding. Sunny, warm, clear, and clean. Pollen levels are low because the rains have kept it down, the streets have the 'just scrubbed' appearance, trees have leafed out, people are soaking up the vitamin D, and all is well. My girlfriend and I spent the entire weekend working outdoors: she dug up the garden, and I cut and installed mouldings. Work that needed to be done, but we were, admittedly, waiting for 'good weather.'
The rain is most appreciated when in the sunlight all the plants and trees light up in an unnatural charteuse-almost electric green.
They say that owing to global warming our area will see more rain...and less sun? That seems to be the case. Last year we did not have a single ripe tomato before they started their fall rot. I don't even bother with corn anymore. Cold weather crops like lettuce, carrots, and beets do very well.
