Daughter MM and Grandson Varick were off early this morning for appointments in Seattle. Scott left for work long before we were even up. Granddaughter Claire's friend Emma was here early to spend the day. The two girls spent a good portion of their day on blankets out on the front lawn practicing their tumbling -- and giggling!
Forry had his nose in his Sudoku most of the day and I had mine in a book (in my iPad anyway). It was a good way to spend a rather chilly, partly cloudy day. I did write a couple of checks, paying a couple of bills and we got our ballots for the upcoming Special Election filled out (the only thing on the ballot is funding for a new jail!). Other than that, it was a pretty quiet day.
It's interesting summer weather here in this part of Washington. It cools off rapidly in the evenings and is quite chilly in the mornings. Then it warms up in early afternoon and is actually very nice. According to Facebook friends, there has been a great deal of early morning fog along the coast that some days doesn't really even burn off. On the other side of the state it has been hot and dry -- which is exactly what is wanted for the wheat harvest.
Already by this time in late July, the days are getting shorter. It's a little after nine o'clock and it's already quite dark outside. Of course, we're pretty much in the trees, so we don't see much of a sunset here.
