Is it Summer yet? Can we stick a fork in Spring already or whatever this is that’s trying to pass for Spring? I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of this weather.
I did a little calculating, because I’m an intellectual bad@$$ nerdy like that. Here’s the what I’ve discovered. Since January 1, we’ve only had 31 days of sunshine in my neck of the woods.
That’s one month out of the last 4.5 MONTHS that we’ve seen the sky.
We’ve had record rainfall here, too. We’ve had over 10 inches of rain since April 1. I’m about to break out the power tools and start building an ark. I know I’m not the only one who’s starting to grow gills. Who’s with me? Anyone?
In all seriousness, I do know how truly devastated some people are throughout the country because of the weather this year. Floods, tornados and the like have ravaged homes and families. I hope we can all find ways to help out.
Okay, I’m done whining. I’m walking again – sort of. I’m a few days away from losing the boot and I can drive again. Life is starting to pick up around here. Hopefully, I’ll soon be able to get back to my regularly scheduled program of projects and crafts and such as.
In other happy news, Cassie Lytle, you are the winner of a free pizza and cutting board and a little something from moi! Aren’t you a lucky girl? I’ll be contacting you soon to find out where I can mail your package.
I’m wishing us all sunny days ahead. Unless you live someplace like Arizona, like my sisters. In which case I propose a playdate for my rain to come visit you.

I hear ya! Even here in UT (did we forget this was supposed to be a DESERT!!?!?) we've had record rain (and local flooding--again, it's a desert. We really can't handle much rain.) and even though we should be grateful for it, all this rain is starting to over-stay its welcome! Our preschool zoo trip has been postponed twice and finally cancelled-- you try explaining to a 4-year-old why he can't go to the zoo because it's raining AGAIN! It's okay. I'm looking forward to the day when it is suddenly 95 degrees and I can complain about that instead! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI live in Ohio also and I am so sick of all this rain. We only have a small window of nice days in Ohio. Really to get outside and plant some flowers. Would like to build a potting bench but its to cold to be outside for to long. Come on Spring.
ReplyDeleteCan I just chime in and say "SEND ME THE RAIN"! I live in SE Texas and we are dry,dry, DRY! 40% chance tomorrow and I am thinking I may send my husband out to do a naked rain dance just to make sure it actually rains....on second thought maybe I'll just run the car through the carwash!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, girlfriend! Thanks for all of the creative inspiration as I begin this journey myself.
I too could use some of this rain...I am in NM and drought is still reigning here!!
