Perfect Weather? Yep :)

Grillin' up some drumsticks
Is there something as subjective as "Perfect Weather"? Well, maybe but this past weekend, particularly yesterday was as close to universally perfect as you can get. Nice afternoon that built on a noon base of 75 degrees up to a late afternoon high on 83. Gorgeous sunshine and light breeze. I fired up the BBQ, again and just relaxed last night as the sun dropped in the Northwest.



Nice summer evening around 7:30
Speaking of sun dropping, notice how quickly we return to "normal" daylight as we approach September. Sunset was 8:13 last night and nearly a full hour earlier than the Summer Solstice 7 weeks ago. In about a month we will reach parity with the world on the Autumnal Equinox.

Here in the Great Northwest we enjoy great summer weather but in the next few weeks we will begin to feel a little nippiness in the night air followed by a rapid drop in daytime high temperatures. I like to call it the Autumn Plunge. We will worry about that later, for now, soak it up my friends, soak it up.
