Spring is here!!!! Sequim is waking up from its hibernation. It's like spring is all around us...the birds are singing everywhere, our spring flowers, tulips and daffodils, are poking their heads out of the ground about 2 inches, and the warm sunshine feels amazingly good on the skin. Sequim residents always surprise me how readily they are taking off their long sleeve sweaters and walk around in shorts, as they were walking the beaches in Hawaii. Well, if they don't feel cold, it's OK with me. Todays temperatures in were 56 F in the shade and 62 F in the sun.
With that kind of warm spring welcome, I could not resist the sunny weather. I skipped my workout at SARC and had a wonderful walk though Carrie Blake Park. OK no jacuzzi and lap-pool in the Park but hey who cares when the Sequim skies are blue and the sun is smiling all over. The owners of remote sailboats must have had the biggest number today, guiding their remote controlled boats to win the race. Dog owners took small and big dogs to the popular Sequim dog park. Dogs enjoyed their freedom from the leashes and raced for balls. Last but not least, the ducks entertain young and old.
So, forget about the first snow in Sequim 2008, which we reported in our last post. It lasted in Sequim just 2 days. Not even that long on our property which is facing south with its driveway and all our big windows. Another great advantage of our major house windows and sliding glass doors facing south, besides the tremendous views of the Olympic Mountains, is that the sun nicely heats up the great room (from 68 F to 71 or 72 F!). Our heat pump has also proved a great investments with an average electric bill of $80/month.
