Hopefully all of you had a productive day today. To be completely honest, I really didn’t. It was one of those lazy “do nothing” days and I really enjoyed it actually! It’s good to have those days every once in a while 🙂
Yesterday when I was driving home from work I began to notice something that I see everyday, but took very little notice of, for some reason, until yesterday. What was it you ask? A high volume of road kill. For heavens sake, you would THINK those possums and raccoons would learn. But no. They continue to step out into the road only to get mangled by oncoming traffic. But that wasn’t the ONLY thing I took notice of. What else, you ask?
The trees! In late June my family and I went to Wyoming as we do every year to visit family. I loved every minute of the trip, but something about Washington made me miss home while I was in Wyoming. It wasn’t enough to ruin my trip, but every once in a while I would think about home and the things that made it great. One of those things was in fact the trees.
I drive from Silverdale to Port Orchard most days and then back so I get to see A LOT of big, green trees on my way there. And you know what? I really love them. I’m no tree hugger by any means at all (puppies and bunnies are great little balls of fluff to hug, but trees?) but I love the fact that we are in abundance of them.
Trees make the air fresh, the hiking trips bearable and the scenery breathtaking, especially in the fall.
What are some things you love about this state or, more specifically, Kitsap County? Feel free to share!
The forecast for the next 7 days looks pretty much the same as what was forecasted earlier today: mostly cloudy tomorrow, partly sunny Sunday and mostly cloudy with a good chance of rain Monday through Wednesday. It looks like Wednesday will be the wettest day with steady, light rain spreading throughout the area. That will feel weird! It’s been a few months since we’ve seen steady rain around here!
And then we gradually improve for later next week into the weekend. Highs will be quite cool, though. Only in the upper 60s to low 70s.
Before I go, just thought I’d mention: I’m helping pour cement for one of my bosses tomorrow and earlier this week at work he asked me what the weather was going to be like this weekend because that would depend on whether he does the cement or not. Talk about pressure! I really hope it doesn’t rain tomorrow or I’m in BIGGGG trouble! 😉
Have a fantastic weekend!!
