This never ending rain is just a soul sucking gray.
Don't get me wrong. I love, love, LOVE the pacific northwest. But even I am getting really, REALLY, tired of this. It makes me feel agitated and tired. Sad and gloomy. Totally uninspired.
Seriously, this weather is so bad that for the first time ever, the soccer club that Karleigh joined, pushed back their entire season for a month. Guess what? The fields are still in bad condition. Plants are weeks behind. As I sit here and type, I look up to the wall in our living room to see pictures of happy, bright, cheerful pink, blue sky backed cherry plum blossoms from the trees in our yard. They were taken the very beginning of March last year. This year, this moment, I look out and see the trees finally blooming. Sort of. With a dull gray sky as the backdrop. *le sigh*
I'm thinking the garden will probably not happen this year. With eternal optimism (I try!) I'm listening to "Here Comes The Sun", unfortunately, in a hilarious (can you sense the sarcasm?) twist of irony... here comes the rain. Again.
Dreary, dreary, dreary!

dude. I feel your pain. this is the time of year that almost everyone (even the hard core rain lovers) are about to jump off a bridge and would sell their own flesh and blood for a little bit of sun. My advice: Hop in the car and start driving south! You can camp (and swim and wear shorts and sun bathe) at my house! :)
I hate when that happens. :)
That's my kinda day... I get headaches from the sun.
Of course, as I get older, my back hurts when it rains.
Never happy, I know!
Great post. :)

Hello, i've been following your blogs for quite awhile now and I really enjoy reading them!
I just wanted to say in regards to this post, I feel your pain!!!! I live an hour south of Portland, and its not any better down here! The rain just keeps coming... this time of year just about does me in! My kids are getting antsy too!
Thankfully today is supposed to be a sunny day, so hopefully you're getting some of the sun as well! :)
So sorry! That really does sound awful. It's been so long since I lived in the NW that I forget how dreary it can really be. I always think that I miss the drizzle. Maybe it's only because I never see it anymore. I'm sure that if I lived in it daily I would be begging for some sun too!!!
Sending some sun from Savannah your way....
