I pick Seattle

susandennisI have three weather strips on my phone now - Seattle, Georgetown, Tx (where my brother is) and DesMoines, Ia (where my nephew is). I can see the forecasts at a glance. Texas is still too hot. Iowa is colder than here every day except one when it's in the 70's.
Gimme Seattle. All week, highs 50 or 51. Nice and consistent. You know what to wear. Invigorating weather with a better than even chance of wonderful burrowed in sleeping. Sure snow would be great but a high of 75 one day and a high of 40 the day before and the day after? Nope.
Really besides the general politics, the mores, and the culture, the weather is the best thing about Seattle.
Today's big project might be closets. I've ordered some lighting which should arrive today. If it gets here in time, I'll install it and then find my winter shirts!
OR...(maybe and/or) I'll start on the project![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daphnep injected into my brain this morning when she asked me a simple question. Her question, about the jacket/sweater I finished yesterday, let me to think, hmmmmmm wonder if I can get the same result by knitting instead of crochet? I'll bet I can! I actually did find one version of a pattern that comes close but really complicates it needlessly (at least for me).
So, today's puzzle will be to figure out a good knitted hexagon that can be grown to any size. I'm on it.
And the world series starts today. I have not yet decided if I'm into it or not. I'm on the fence and it's giving me a wedgie. The first game is at 5 today. Guess we'll find out then.
Busy day. Better get to it.

It's definitely bittersweet to be watching Mookie Betts shred them; he's always fun to watch, but, oh, he really should still be here!
