        I looooooooooove how green everything is so early in the year. Or when it’s snowing in the passes but the cherry blossoms have erupted in Seattle.

        Caveat that every tolerable place on Earth seems a little like Eden when I’m not there.

          A few weeks ago wild foxgloves erupted everywhere in our neighborhood. We have a patch in our backyard that are six and a half feet tall now. I love all the birds everywhere, and the flowers, and the greenery. When the sun comes out and it warms up, it’s honestly like paradise. But I do get a little SAD by about the middle of winter.

          River rafting is just an hour away, up in Gold Bar. Well, I guess it could be a couple hours depending on where you live, but if you’re in Seattle then it’s just a short drive. The only real drawbacks are the constant overcast skies, and how short summer is. We’ve got all these great outdoor activities nearby, but only a short window to enjoy them in, unless you don’t mind doing them while cold and wet.
