Rainclouds

We signed up for rain when we moved to Washington State. The annual average precipitation in Bellingham is 34.84 inches with rainfall fairly evenly distributed throughout the year. Rain I can deal with; that's what jackets and umbrellas are for. We don't have to water the grass or any of the established plants. Things are typically green and lush, albeit sometime a bit soggy.

This time of year we long for the beautiful sunny day with a brilliant blue sky devoid of clouds. We run outside when the clouds part and rays of sunshine fall upon is, generating Vitamin D. A chance to clear away a few weeds, plant vegetables, mow the lawn, tidy the yard. The clouds return soon and rain follows, watering in the newly planted items.

Gotta go...there is a break in the clouds.

"There's too much sky and not enough blue, too many questions to why I love you. There's too many clouds and not enough sun; the clouds must fall on everyone." - Teitur
