Dreary, most dreary

Pouring down rain here with lots of street flooding. Flash flood warnings, too. This would make a good spring rain if it had someplace to soak into, but the ground is still frozen under the snow. At least the snow’s melting pretty fast now. Which, of course, contributes to the flooding.

Maybe, just maybe it will get warm, stop precipitating for a day or two, and pretend to be spring.

I realized last night—in the middle of it, who knows why—that there are only 2 months and 3 weeks until the summer solstice when the days start growing shorter again. That was a dreary thought. It makes the year seem awfully short.

I’m just growing moldy around the edges, with a full-tilt case of cabin fever.
