E is for Evergreen State, Washington’s
nickname. It doesn’t take more than a
minute to figure out where evergreen comes from – just look around at the mountains,
forests, parks, and protected wildlife areas and all you see is green. Large amounts of annual rainfall account for
this.
Whenever I told
anyone that we were moving to Washington, their responses were either “Oh, it’s
beautiful there”, or more likely “Ugh, it rains all the time”. It doesn’t rain ALL the time, but we do have
quite a bit of rain. It’s usually more
of a drizzle than anything heavier and since I grew up in England, it’s
definitely my preferred climate. A light
jacket with a hood is all you need.

You'd love it in England today. It's absolutely glorious with the sun shining and all the spring flowers out. Friday was a different story with lots of rain - but that's what keeps our green and pleasant land! I like the sound of Washington, the evergreen state. I'm really enjoying your trip around the USA.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous photograph. I love hearing about Washington, as I've never been there. Fun!
