Weather

I don’t believe people who say talking about the weather is uninteresting. Mundane, surely, but in the mundane is real experience. One of my favorite kinds of knowledge to obtain is the sense of seasons of a place. In Portland, so many months are dreary, or at least subdued. Low clouds and the lack of raw sunshine are much harder than the rain. But spring and summer in Portland, few things match the perfection that this place can reach during these months. The clean air, emergent sunlight, and birdsong delicately erupting all around. So perfect you could almost scoop it with a spoon.
