Memorial Day has long been the unofficial start of summer. Denver, however, has been cool and rainy, and sometimes downright cold and rainy, for almost all of May. It’s been a psychological battle for a city that boasts 300 days of sun a year. The first few days of rain you think, well this is rejuvenating. And then it’s a little inconvenient, and then finally a little depressing. The Memorial Day forecast looked fairly grim, as well.
But! When I woke up this morning, the sun was already shining. It was the kind of morning that asked you to join it, and so I did. With coconut flour pancakes, and a little coconut milk to perk up my daily morning tea, I could have been on the Islands. Well, no… But I did take my breakfast outside to sit in the sun. The patio table was dappled with sunlight through the trees, birds were singing and several lawn mowers hummed in the background while the house was quiet with late sleepers still snuggled in beds.
The unofficial start of summer is off to a good start. Wishing everyone a season of sunny days, tempered with just enough rain to be rejuvenating.
