Although we had a heatwave a few weeks ago, the chilly air is back in the Pacific Northwest, especially when the clouds float in. They feel like a warm cocoon, and I welcome their presence. We need the rain, I hear it’s on the way, as its been sparse this Spring. Predictions forecast a warmer summer.

Thinking there may be a tiny, infinitesimal chance the heatwave turbocharged the ripening of strawberries, I took a drive out to one of the farms yesterday, not because I’m anxious to get my hands on fresh strawberries or anything.
