Today in Lynden, the weather was incredible! 72 degrees and sunny! Kent cleaned out the garage while I weeded the flower bed and listened to the radio. If we didn't live right on a golf course, I totally would have worn my bathing suit, but there were many golfers outside today. Needless to say, we felt really proud of ourselves. After working hard for about 4 hours, we decided to walk a few miles to one of the local coffee shops to meet Kent's dad and sister for an afternoon coffee treat (in my case, a strawberry banana smoothie - delightful!).

After the working and walking, I actually got some color!!! :) I got a definite tan line from my tank top and my shoulders are even a little red. I feel so good for the first time in a long time - got some sun, got some work done, got some walking in, and - best of all - got to enjoy an entire day without rain and with the sun!

Too bad it's not going to last long (according to the meteorologists, anyway). They're already forecasting rain for tomorrow and back down to the 50's...oh well. I thank God for the gift of today and for the taste of summer. I think it put everyone in a good mood: the golfers are laughing a lot, kids are selling some lemonade from their driveway for $0.25, people are washing their cars, mowing their lawns and weeding their gardens, kids are playing softball (or tee ball?) games down the street where many cheers can be heard from the comfort of our back yard. I hope that we have this weather frequently very soon.
