Patio Eating with Sunshine in Seattle
Here is the deal; it rains a whole lot in Seattle, WA. Way more than what is normal for most people to handle. There is a plus to all the rain, well actually there are quite a few. The first is that the area is clean because of all the rainfall. It washes away the dust and keeps the trees and grass very green in color. The other reason that it is good is because it makes for a great work environment. When the weather is bad you have to stay inside and complete your projects. Anyway, now that the season has changed and it is finally sunny outside for a few days here and there it is a perfect time to go out to a Restaurant in Seattle for delicious food and enjoy it on the patio. When it turns to summer the days are warm but not humid like other parts of the country. I just love to go to the waterfront in Kirkland or in Seattle on Lake Washington. When there is a small breeze going and you are sitting there with a glass of wine or a beer eating a burger and fries, ahhh. This is when life is really, really good. All those days of work and rain become a distant past and I am able to be right there in the moment. It is not often when I can really be in the moment and take all my surroundings in and be thankful for all that I have in life. I am so fortunate and this must be coming from that yellow round thing in the blue sky that brings happiness to us rainy folks in the Emerald City.
