Spring has finally arrived in Sequim! I remember when we moved to Sequim last year and our new neighbors would say say "Wait till spring is coming!". Yes, they were so right. I guess after all those those many years living on a tropical island one forgets about the magic of the seasons, with spring being the most impressive. Blossoms in all colors, buds and greens everywhere. Don't we just love our life in sunny Sequim?!Today, we woke up to blue skies and beautiful sunshine. Don't get me wrong. At 10am, the mountain air is still crisp with 50F in the shade but by now we are used to bundle up and just enjoy the most amazing countryside setting with the blue Pacific Ocean on one side and the still snowcovered Olympic Mountains on the other. And all in between...there is spring in Sequim!
With the speed limit being in most streets a meager 25miles/hr, driving through Sequim is like taking a scenic tour. They should call not only call Sequim the lavender capital of the world but also town with the most cherry blossom trees. I am still 'hunting' for this one special photo taking a view of the trees with the mountains as background but was not lucky so far. The trees in front of the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center should do for now. Tulips, daffodils, primroses, forsythia, early rhododendrons and more complete nature's spring design in Sequim.
Just a short update on our Sequim house construction. It seems like everything is on schedule. We will be moving out of our Sun Meadows house in about 14 days. To bridge the time till we can move into our new Sequim house in the peaceful Carrie Blake Park neighborhood, we have already rented a fully equipped vacation rental place with kitchen. We stayed there when vacationing and real estate hunting in Sequim in fall of 2005. Sequim vacation rentals are not cheap, we noticed. It might be an idea to look into offering a nice vacation rental at an affordable rate. Our many Sequim outdoor attractions and festivals like the upcoming Sequim Irrigation Festival on May 5 and the Sequim Lavender Festival July 20 attract lots of visitors who are looking for a Sequim vacation rental. It's something to think about.

p.s.
Hope the Sequim Elks won't do too much damage to farmer's and nature's efforts. We know we will be facing the deer roaming around our new house (Oak hill has been their long time habitat) and will have to come up with some special landscaping ideas.
