Make it stop already!
It’s way too early in the season to complain about rain (on a daily basis!), but I’m going to anyway. Where is it coming from? Why must we have it all? Aren’t there some other people who need rain? We’d be happy to share. Even rainforests don’t get this much rain.
The grass. That green stuff that’s racing for the sky? It needs to be cut. The lawnmower doesn’t do wet grass. No, it doesn’t. My lawnmower demands supple green grass without rain droplets clinging to every blade. I wonder when that will happen. Not before it reaches my waist, probably.
My gardens? They’re plenty green alright. With weeds. No seeds sprouting, though. In order to have sprouting seeds, one needs to plant some. To plant some, one needs to have a few days without deluges. We’ve gone from frosts to deluges.
And shall I mention the green slime that’s already growing on the deck floor? It’s too early for that, but we have it anyway. Nothing is drying out.
This must stop or I will go stark raving mad. There is more truth than drama to that statement. Make It Stop!! Pleeeeeeeze!!! 
Misery loves company. 
Three days down and seven to go? Everytime I look at the weather report, there seems to be even more rain forecast. It has to stop eventually, right?
We have two enterprising nuthatches who have decided to build a nest on the window air conditioner at the back of the house. It is a very protected spot. They can sit there while the rain pours down and not get a bit wet. Smart birdies. The mockingbirds are complaining loudly though. They’ve been having a complete fit the past couple of days. That is kind of amusing.
Oh for pete’s sake, think how we all feel about this! LOL. I just wish it would be at least 70 freaking degrees already! I think I might be able to live through this if it was at least warm enough not to have to wear my winter coat! Waaaaaaaaaaa!

The people in the southwest, midwest, and southeast seem to be a little short on rain. It’s really not fair that we should have all the bounty. And yeah, it’s cold. I started a fire in the woodstove yesterday because it was so cold and damp. The kind of damp chill that creeps deep into the bones. However, still not wearing a jacket outside. Just a turtleneck and a chambray shirt over it.

well, I guess you could look at the bright side. Today is day 2 or is it 3 of the 10 out of 15 days of rain we are supposed to get???????? Nope, that isn’t the bright side, is it? I am hating it as much as you if that helps. Even the birds are mad!!
