Sunny Days

Today is sunny. Yesterday was sunny. Tomorrow’s forecast is rain, just what we've had for most of this spring. 

After a long winter, we look forward to sunshine, with strategically placed (never on the weekend) spring showers of course, to brighten our mood and feed our soul. It’s difficult to maintain being in a funk when the sun is shining but on rainy, dull days, we can feed that funk into a raging greyness. No wonder many of us look forward to that week in March when we head south to bask in sunshine.

Yesterday, I cut the grass so my lawn could look a bit more civilized. Because of fertilizer and constant rain, it was starting to look a lot like an undisturbed nature preserve and I was beginning to wonder if small animals were taking up residence. Today, I'll remove weeds from the stone edging. 

We have been promised a sunnier, drier summer and after a very soggy spring, I’m looking forward to some heat. That is, until it gets too hot and then we’ll be reminding each other of the beautiful, cool, showery spring that was so good for the garden. You know it’s true.J  

Will keep you posted.
