Why I like living here --


A few years after I moved to Seattle, the marina just below our building went through a major remodel, including the addition of this clock tower.

It's nice to be able to see from my window, but twice a year I wait impatiently for it to spring forward or fall back.

This year it was nearly three weeks before the clock changer came to visit (I always imagine that scene from the Harold Lloyd comedy...) but at last Julie's Landing is in sync with the rest of the street.

The snow finally stopped, just in time for April Fool's Day! Really. We had snow, or mixed snow and rain (depending on location) on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. In some places 4 inches accumulated - and stayed for a day or two.

Finally the weather is warming up - not before everyone is ready for it. Best thing about the cold March is that flowers lasted for weeks. Now leaves on the early-blossoming trees are cautiously venturing out.
