The sun is out…
Aside from having a newborn, we’ve been pretty busy with the sun. It’s been so wonderful having the sun these last few weeks, it’s sort of dictated our days as of late. I’ve abandoned anything needing updating in front of a computer screen (sorry, blog(s) –and thank God for Blackberry mobile Facebook). I’m not much of a mobile blogger. Come to think of it, I’m not much of a blogger at all.
Portland’s notoriously short blip of a summer has me both rejoicing and quietly condemning. I am soaking up as much of this vitamin-d as possible, but at the same time finding myself pissed off and overly pessimistic because I know it will end soon. Sun, oh how I had forsaken you back when we lived in California and now I grovel at your feet begging for a few weeks more of your delight. Seven weeks of shine is not enough for me. But months of 100+ degree arid temps does not please me either. Is there a happy medium?
We began tossing around ideas of moving again last year and it still rolls around in our daily conversation. Even though we’ve been quite happy in our average condo, thoughts of a house without an HOA and neighbors a little further apart is very alluring (the key to that sentence was “IN” the trouble with condo life starts when you go OUT). Even if we don’t need the space, I know the dogs would appreciate it.
We’ll see how this plays out.
