[Think free or die]

Here in the Phila suburbs it's also abysmal on the weather front. It's lush and green, but it seems like we'll all just mildew away from the rain. I've only had the heat turned off for about 3 days this year, and our pool membership is starting to look like a colossal mistake. How the kids will swim at camp in 10 days, I have no idea. They'll turn into popsicles. After the droughts of recent summers, our trees and groundwater need the break, but we humans are ready for summer!

Well, I don't want to think about a Philadelphia summer, and so far this weather suits me exactly.

But on behalf of all the normal people, let's have some summer already!

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.
