Sequim is beautiful at all times of the year, at least to us Sequimers who always enjoy the dramatic panorama of the Olympic Mountains and like to watch the change of the seasons. Sorry for the delay with this post. It must be the season. Yes, holiday season it is. We love it!
The Sequim Intermezzo with the snow has been over for about two weeks. It’s all melted away. Should we say luckily or sadly?! Even with the restrictions involved through the snow (for the first two days, no snow plough made it through Sun Meadows, so we decided to leave the car just in the garage, with its summer tires we were not too convinced about its performance anyways), we loved the sight of the snow…the snow covered trees, garden, houses and mountains. A white Christmas at the end of November! All Sequim residents told us that they had not experienced so much snow in years. If there had been a few flakes, they would never lie for long. Well, this time they lasted a week!
Now, Sequim life is back to normal or better: to celebrating the Christmas season. Not only the center of town is nicely decorated with Christmas wreaths and lots of lights but Sun Meadows where we live has its own homeowners’ Christmas decoration competition. The best decorated house will win $50. We love to do a nice walk in the crisp mountain air, all bundled up, enjoying the different decoration efforts of the homeowners. We did not join the contest - only decorated our pine tree in the front garden with a nice colored light chain.
However, you should see our blue spruce Christmas tree in the house! We had tagged it on the Christmas tree farm before the snowstorm came and it was really still there afterwards. In joint efforts, we dug it out of the ground, put it in a big planting container, found the best spot in the living room for surviving the season, decorated it beautifully and enjoy the wonderful tree each day and hour. We water and fertilize it on a regular basis and give it lots of love. So far, so good! We are optimistic that we will be able to plant the tree in our garden in spring of next year.
You intend to move to Sequim and retire in in this amazing small town on the Peninsula, stay with us and check what we have to tell you about our new life in Sequim. We wish everybody Happy Holidays and A Merry Christmas. Peace and love from the Sequimers
