June has been absolutely brilliant so far. We have had spectacular sunshine with 70s and 80s since the month began. June in Southwest Washington can be a cornucopia of weather from cool showers, to rough and tumble thunderstorms or as we have enjoyed thus far, gorgeous sunshine from the heavens seemingly delivered by God almighty himself.
That pesky Rose Festival low seems to be staying away. For now. Get out and soak up that sunshine because until the booms and bursts of the 4th of July have come and gone, clouds and showers will remain an ominous threat.
My favorite thing about June is the late sunshine. El Sol drops below the horizon after nine o'clock at night and the twilight lingers in the Northwest sky till nearly eleven. The warm highs in the upper 70s tend to linger as well with the mercury often still flirting with seventy degrees after ten o'clock. I enjoy sitting out on the patio as the sky slowly changes hue from red and orange to a deep Sapphire blue up high and a soft pastel blue near the horizon. Towering fir trees are back lit silhouettes against the beautiful twilight sky. A nice cool sangria really hits the spot after a long day in the warm sun.
Soak it up my friends, soak it up.
