Yesterday as I was chatting with a woman from Hartford, Connecticut, in my Seattle kitchen the subject of weather came up. It seems that area of the country is about to face its first cold spell of the year. It made me want to call my cousin in CT and talk about the time it snowed so much my grandmother couldn’t get out her front door!
Friends and family dot the eastern seaborn and northeast where an aunt and uncle, and my dearest grandmother owned farms. I adored my grandma and lived with her several times. My heart still longs to return. Not that I miss the poison ivy or snapping turtles.
The young woman visiting me yesterday remarked that she is tempted to stay in the Pacific Northwest because of the mild weather. This morning however the weather forecaster talked about an approaching atmospheric river, a term I never heard while growing up on the East Coast—that I can recall anyway.
The prediction for today is sleet. Can you believe it? Hopefully it will let up long enough for me to walk Piper today. I can’t remember a day that I didn’t take her out walking at least once!
