Western Washingtonians are a funny bunch. We spend much of the year complaining about the rain, but after a mere three months of summer, we go bananas with excitement at the first sign of fall. When flame-orange pumpkins appear in stores and in fields, gray weather isn’t far behind — yet all we can talk about is pumpkin spice and fuzzy sweaters. October’s pumpkin patches, harvest festivals and other autumn celebrations offer us a brief window to flirt with the idea of coziness while still soaking up sunshine. Yes, it’s technically fall, but you can feel summer’s last kiss on your cheek and it’s absolutely glorious. So embrace the paradox! Get out your plaid flannel shirts and sturdy boots because it’s time to revel in the season’s fleeting beauty.
