It figures that unlike yesterday which turned out to be so nice, today is overcast and rainy. Normally I would agree with what a family friend used to say which is "So what? We need the rain." However after Mother Nature's overabundant gift of snow this year I think we have enough. Of course this year's feast could end up being next year's famine.
Actually it is not the rain. It is the light humidity. It is just low enough that you do not really notice that it is there until the aches and pains hit you and high enough to bring about actual rainfall. The big downside of this type of weather is that you feel constantly tired and just want to go back to bed. The upside is that it is only rain and not snow. Rain does drain away and disappear into the ground. Snow does as well - but only after days, weeks or months!
But looking out the window I see lots of green grass. Normally by this time of year there is still quite a bit of brown so this is good. The daffodils have bloomed and even a large amount of our tulips have not only come up but opened up. Enough have done this that several people who have come by the house have commented on that. Seems that most people are still waiting for their tulips to bring forth flowers.
Well - time for coffee and the paper.
Ciao for now.
