Dearest Portland,
When I moved here I heard it from everyone. Doesn't it always rain there? I stuck up for you. I would say, it rains, there are gray day but the weather changes every five minutes so it doesn't ALWAYS rain there. In fact, I was fairly certain that was a rumor started by a native Portlander who is sick of everyone moving here in the first place. So I pleaded your case, I defended you from the haters. Until lately. At first the weather was just crazy. Blue skies one minute, dark gray clouds the next with pouring rain. And it was ok...for a few weeks. Then it just got gray and cold. It was May and I was wearing scarves, jackets and boots. So here we are close to June. The sun came out today. Do you think we could keep it for a while? I mean it is almost summer. I would really appreciate it. By the way, the city looks beautiful, the trees are so green and lush. It makes a girl who doesn't love rain, love living here just the same.
xoxo,
jen
