“Why do we always meet at Swansons in the morning
when we know it would be warmer in the afternoon?” I complained to Kate when I
arrived. (Note to self: Schedule the next time in the afternoon!) A fall and
holiday season standby for USk Seattle, Swansons offers colorful displays outdoors
and a cozy café for inclement weather. In addition, the staff are always friendly
and welcoming.
It wasn’t raining Wednesday, but it was downright cold and windy. I stayed outside for as long as I could stand it, sketching some bright blue pots, even brighter leaves that had caught my eye in the tree section, and Mark sketching by the shopping carts.
After that, I had had enough of the chill. Retreating to the café for coffee and a snack, I spotted Natalie and Kim – ideal victims under a jungle of enormous leaves. Swansons is always a good meetup spot in any weather.
