In all the 14 years we've lived in Goldendale, this has been the wettest, coldest, most overcast Spring we've experienced. I'm not entirely complaining.....the grass, trees, and flowers have remained far greener and vibrant longer into the year than they usually do. By now the wildflowers would have already peaked (they usually do in late April to early May!) and started to wane, whereas right now they are just peaking and looking their most beautiful! So being able to enjoy the wildflowers and green longer than normal is a plus. But I am dying for some days in the 70's here! We've had maybe 5-6, sporadically throughout the past month. That's not enough, haha. I'm afraid we're going to go from 60* to 90*+ in a blink of an eye and we won't be able to enjoy those days in the 70's that are the most lovely of days before the heat of summer hits!
Anyway, on the rare pleasant day we have managed to have, we've made sure to get our butts outside to enjoy them. I decided that even though it's not the typical Spring we've enjoyed in the past, we were going to make sure we enjoyed the Spring we were given. From games on the porch, to playing Captain-May-I with all the kids in the yard, to shooting hoops and playing air hockey in the shop, to picking wildflowers, to lounging in hammocks, we've really tried to take advantage of the few amazing Spring days we have had.
Looking forward to more warmer days!
With love, Mama Hauck
