One of the few things that gets me through the winters here is the prospect of Finnish Summer: two to three months of bright blue skies and damn near perfect temperatures. But this summer has convinced me that I could never live in Seattle. It’s mid-July, and I think I can count the number of good days we’ve had on my hands – and I missed half of them while in Croatia. It’s been grey and rainy and cool. I don’t think we’ve even made it to 70°F where I live (except for those days I missed). Even with the Croatian break, and the upcoming trip to Barcelona, I’m dying a slow death here. I’m done with grey!!
But I know some people love this kind of weather. Some people don’t care for blue skies. Are you one of them?
Let me know in the comments below, and you’ll be entered to win some poppyseed soap made by yours truly! (Scent TBD – I have to see what scents I have available.) I made poppyseed soap as wedding favors when we got married, and I’ve had quite a few requests for more from family and friends since then. Time to make a new batch!

Embrace Life. Be Inspired. 
I can quite happily live without a single grey sky in my life. So blue is most definitely a winner.
I agree. Blue sky. A grey sky makes everything gloomy, in my opinion.
BLUE!!!! this summer has been such a bust!
Pale grey skies all the way.
