This weather has seriously bummed me out. We haven't had two sunny days in a row since snow was on the ground. Every weekend during this spring has been a washout. I've had to take a couple days off from work just to know what it's like to be in my yard when the sun is shining. I haven't gone swimming once and it hasn't even been warm enough to wear shorts. Over Memorial Day weekend, we had our heat turned on - in the daytime! It's ridiculous.

Yesterday was a perfect day for a change - 100% sun and 79 degrees. But today, we are right back in the clouds and rain. And now they are calling for a "soaking rain storm" for Friday and Saturday. Maybe, just maybe, the sun will come out on Sunday. But then it will be cold, with a high only in the lower 60s. I'm going to Alabama a week from Friday and this time, I'm not going to complain about the Dixie heat.

BTW, we still got the eco-nuts around here telling us we can't water our lawn and that we need to conserve water. Are you kidding me? If I was stupid enough to water my lawn in all this constant rain, my yard would turn into a lake.

Sounds familiar! My husband just mowed the front lawn for the first time this season about a week ago. It needed mowing before then, but all the rainy weekends and evenings precluded yard work. We had a break yesterday, but clouds rolled in overnight. Sigh.

I've made a point of mentioning global warming to my kids this spring. May as well immunize them against some of the more extreme indoctrination by letting them use their own powers of observation.
