Portland in Jaunary. I grew up in in the Northwest. The grey never got to me. Then I moved to California. When I moved to Portland in 2000, I added S.A.D. to the diagnostic mix. Shorter days, lack of light exposure. I moved back to Seattle in 2002. Believe it or not, it’s actually much greyer there. Moved back here in 2003. But, to tell the truth, by about 2004, I think I’d acclimated to this climate again.
Last night I filled out a survey Shelley had done before me. One question: “what color is your bedroom?” Shelley’s bedroom walls are white, but the artist in her discerned the light, light lavender tone of her walls.
I kind of adapt Shelley’s approach to surviving Northwest winters. Somewhere down the line, I started seeing the colors in the grey.
