RAIN–DON’T CARE FOR IT WHEN IT RAINS 2-3 DAYS IN A ROW, BUT
WE NEED RAIN TO KEEP THINGS GROWING AND ALSO ENOUGH TO FILL LAKES AND DAMS SO WE DON’T HAVE A WATER SHORTAGE. SOME PLACES HAVE HAD TO ONLY WATER OUTSIDE A COUPLE OF DAYS A WEEK. HOPE THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN AGAIN THIS YEAR.
THE ONLY THING IS THAT WEEDS AND DANDALIONS GROW WITHOUT
RAIN, UNFORTUNATELY.

Julie, I’m with you on the rain! I honestly would rather have a snowy day than a rainy one. (The aftermath is the difficult part…lol!) But gray rainy days just get me down. And while 15 years ago when we moved to Florida the weather was just as you described, in recent years, we have not had those 3-5pm violent thunderstorms in the summer. We’ve had either no rain at all for weeks, or else solid 8-10 day stretches of it. Very weird!

Glad you survived the field trip, Julie. I was a chaperone for my son’s Jr High choir before Christmas. The girl’s choir and the boy’s choir each sang at two retirement homes. After that, it was a lovely yellow school bus ride from Northeast of Ft. Worth to North Dallas. On that bus I think it took almost an hour in rush hour traffic, not to mention the other bus (which was full of girls - at that age… had three girls get into a fight! So, we must all stop so choir director can deal with that.

Next, we all get off at the Galleria Mall - so much shopping and so little money. But, I did get to see a girl flirting with my son. It is soooo much fun to razz my 13 year old about that. (She chased him on ice skates.)

Hope you enjoyed your sunny day.

I love a rainy day as long as I can curl up with a good book. I hate a rainy day if I have to get out and go anywhere. yuck yuck and yuck

Good luck on the field trip . . . you’re gonna need it.

waving to Samantha, Lori and Donna M (all PNW people who have moved out). I am still here and today it was okay, but right now, it is POURING! My poor landscaper is out in it. I am snuggly with my boys watching a movie, hubby on his way home, not minding at all…

Julie I hope the field trip went well. I make sure that I go on all of the field trips that I can. I know that I will miss it when it gone, but the bug trip may have had me running.

I love a nice soft rain. Downpours I hate. An entire day of rain makes me lazy. I also get a little peeved when my kids interrupt me when I am reading on the lazy rainy day.

If I had to lay 200 eggs, I’d probably be pretty cranky and biting the head of anything that came near me too.

Here in Southern California we haven’t had much rain at all this season, and we can DESPERATELY use the rain! We’re already heading toward a drought, and fire season, which is normally from July through October, hasn’t come to an end and probably won’t this year. Everything is just so dry, and I really cringe to think what this summer is going to bring.

Carly, Julie and Leslie have all seen me through about half a dozen fires that have come precariously close to where I live — the most recent of which was only SIX HOUSES AWAY in an open field that ended up burning for over 5 miles!!! So, I say, BRING ON THE RAIN, except it’s all the way in Florida and doesn’t seem to want to travel all the way to California!

I am chuckling over your PM story. I once wacked a PM off a back porch railing when I was young and spent 15 minutes in a corner for the action.
Grandpa considered them the Garden’s friends. I remember him making me name it and check on it every day for the rest of my vacation stay with them. I also like Lady bugs. Now Spiders is a whole different story.
Must have been fun.

I love both rain and snow. Having just come from Maine where I could not see out the bottom of the windows wth the snow piled up outside. I did get some great pictures. We are expecting your rain here in the next day or so. In Maine we have a metal roof and the rain on it is a spectacular sound. Sorta like sitting in a car in the rain or in a tent. I just love it. Well not if the tent leaks part or the if it has rained a week on my vacation part. LOL. I just finished “dark gold” CF (I liked it), Hot Stuff JE (cute & funny)and re-read Domino by Julie. I am now reading R.St.Claire’s “Take me Tonight”(so far I’m enjoying it) Hmmm next I haven’t a clue.
Enjoy your day whatever your weather. How were the 3-d BUGS?
