After the time change and with winter's solstice approaching, our days are at their very shortest. Ironically, it's often clear and dry at night in Seattle, while the warmth of the day traps the clouds and the rain around us.
Sometimes in the late afternoon, the sun drops just under the cloud blanket and we''ll get a moment of dry, "sunny" weather. "Run for the park! Quick to the bikes before it's dark!"
The rainy season is well underway in Seattle. While the standard rain here is a gentle mist or wimpy sprinkle, the November precipitation has been a deluge. Daily downpours and colder temps mean we're spending considerably more time indoors.
This weekend, Sam and Elsa created a "house" in their bathroom closet. There's a "bed" for each of them and of course two toilets. This cooperative play (maybe cooperative is a stretch. We all know who the master of the house is!) has been really fun to witness. Its reminded me of all the small spaces I "discovered" with my sisters.
