The possibilities were still infinite, but a smaller amount of infinite, she says.<br /><br />One of the topics we've been writing about has been spring. I miss spring. Seattle doesn't have it, or fall. There is the long dreary winter, and then one day it is sunny and warm and it is summer. Both spring and fall are so wonderful and unique in the northeast, so I lament the lack of them in here. Spring, in particular, is fresh. The rains bring new life and herald the end of the cold snowy winter. You can taste spring in your breath and it is exciting.<br /><br />SODO in Seattle is flat with a couple exceptions. A few are the bridges over the Argo train yard. As I ride my bicycle to or from work and cross these, I look out over the area. There are trucks and ships, scrap yards and factories, smokestacks and the noise of work. When I breathe in, here in particular, it is heavy. Not necessarily the pollution. It is like the weight of the city, of the worry and deadlines, comes in with every breath.<br /><br />Right then, every day, I miss the forests of home.Bryan McLellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010257198683465593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593256949311598537.post-91531552002513561592011-04-25T07:04:58.406-07:002011-04-25T07:04:58.406-07:00Melina I am so impressed with you.
