It rained today. It wasn't cold or blustery, just springtime wet. Everyone bustled about their business, as usual. Rain? So what! There's the promise of warm, sunny days next week. I relish the idea of sunshine bringing a spectrum of color back to Birch Bay!
Is life easier for the seagulls and bald eagles and the scores of other birds on the bay when it's sunny? I wonder if they are helped or hindered in their daily getting-on by sunshine or rain. Do they open their peepers at dawn, s-t-r-e-t-c-h their wingspan to the fullest, and think, "Wouldn't you know it! Another gray day in the Pacific Northwest!"
Ahhhh, the promise of sunshine ...
