Ever since school got out on May 28th, it has been raining. I don't mind it, it certainly beats 100 degree weather...but it's hard to keep kids entertained indoors for days on end! My yard has mushrooms growing in it and we haven't turned the sprinklers on all month! My friend was commenting a few days ago that it rained 12 out of the last 13 days (as of that date). It didn't rain yesterday so by that calculation, it rained 18 out of the last 20 days. At this moment, the clouds are gathering overhead and the wind is blowing like crazy. A few drops of rain even made it's way to the ground. I think now would be a good time to invest in a rain coat and good rubber boots. Except if I cave now and buy it, chances are the rain will stop the minute the debit charge clears my bank.
(It really is this gloomy outside right now.)
Eric decided that Seattle would be his dream place to live because he just loves this kind of weather. It reminds him of the sudden downpours that he saw when he was growing up (Florida). This gives me a sudden flashback- I remember going out on rainy days (when I was a lot younger) and singing on the top of my lungs, "Rain, rain, go away. Come again some other day!"
How are things in your neck of the woods? Is the weather the same as usual for you or different? Leave a comment and let me know!P.S. I finally downloaded the pictures from my camera- all 592 of them! So I'll post some pictures soon so you can see what we've been up to!

the way i figure it, people in utah and idaho have been praying for rain and "moisture" for years. God just seems to be answering years of prayers all at once! it's actually really nice here in ohio right now. it seems like the only rainy days we have are on wednesdays...my day off!! it's so sad because those are the days i want to go to the pool with sol or on a bike ride or something fun outdoors. we keep going shopping instead since it's indoors and out of the house.
We have seen the same rain as you have, I'm sure. The weatherman on the radio said that we have had 15 or 16 rain days so far in June, which is nearly a record. But I am with you, I don't mind the rain at all. And it has definitely helped with the budget to not have to turn on the sprinklers or air conditioning!
