Change is good... Change is good...

It is no longer pitch black when I get to work. It's dark but you can see that it's the tail end of dark. And it's not at all dark when I get home.

In fact it is way daylight and stays that way for a while after I get home and this is the hard to get used to.

The kitchen with no mugs is bare. The shelves with nothing on them are bare (and filthy). The rugs are folded up so now you can see all the hidden stains as well as the stains that I never could hide. When it's dark outside, I can mute the light inside. When it's daylight outside - especially on a sunny day like today - every wart shows.

But the upside of the day light after work is the bus ride. I've been working on some socks which is easy travel knitting so instead of having my head in a book or in a game on Treo, I've been knitting while riding. And since I don't need to look at the knitting, I can look out the window.

Today, waiting for the bus, I could see the snow capped mountains very clearly and they are really beautiful espically there perched behind the green landscape. Then on the bus I saw big and small sail boats out in the middle of the lake and some fishing boats and we pass by one of the floating homes (ala Sleepless in Seattle) neighborhoods which are really just eat up with cute and the yacht club. Then on into town there's another lake that has an airport at one end for floating planes. I saw two today - one take off and one land.

Not too shabby a ride for $2.00!

I've taken one of those seaplanes from Seattle (I don't remember the lake) to Victoria to visit Mom and Dad. :)

Yep! Lake Union. That's the very place the bus goes by. The airport has changed names a couple of times but that trip from Seattle to Victoria is just amazing. My first trip, we took the plane up in the morning and back in the evening. It was magical!

It really was a beautiful day here

and it was raining like crazy in the bay area when I left. And I think
it is still raining there.

It really was beautiful. And, it looks like we might have a repeat today. I love Seattle weather (and your Seattle userpic!).

I think those floating homes are so neat...bet they're pricey though!

[susandennis]

Actually not so much as you would think... A lot of them are tiny. Plus some have very sweet dock deals. Every other year they have a home tour of one of the neighborhoods (there are 3 big ones). I've been a couple of times and it is fascinating.
