seattle summer

My mind can hardly process the fact that it's August already. With all the weddings and vacations and general busy-ness of the past few months, June and July seem to have slipped through my fingers.  Not that Seattle was giving us much of a summer before August began...60 degrees and cloudy, anyone?

But it looks like we're finally getting the much vaunted Seattle summer weather - the sunny, clear days, long summer nights, and not a speck of humidity. I may be an east coast girl, but I certainly don't miss the muggy days and sweltering summer nights of my childhood. I've gotten so spoiled that I found myself complaining about the heat when it was 80 degrees outside...how times have changed!

My recent dog-sitting adventure gave me a good excuse to spend some time outdoors. I tried to tire Rex out with some nice long walks, but he apparently has endless stores of energy...and an insatiable appetite, as evidenced by the all the food he managed to scarf down while we were out of the house. Luckily for him, he's too cute to stay mad at for long.

Crossing my fingers that this weather will hold up for another month!
