Tonight is the night before the July 4th celebration on the Bellwether waterfront in Bellingham. As a warm up, a local band played tunes from the '70s, '80s, '90s at Boulevard Park while the first of the "nights on the green" started in Fairhaven. The summer sky at Boulevard Park was perfect tonight : clear, a little cool, some gentle breeze - just like you would imagine a summer in heaven. You live for days like that here. When they happen, they are magical. We are predicted to have rain for the Fourth; and then some 70 and even 80 degree weather next week. Good idea to soak it up. Might be the warmest week of the year thus far.
