Rain!

I woke up this morning to a cloudy, rainy day – YAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!

I am sure the good people in Seattle will consider me a total nut case, but when I check the Kuwait forecast and see it is 104° F / 42° C in Kuwait, and only 52° F / 11° C in Seattle, I dance for joy! Today I get to wear a light sweater! Or maybe a hoodie! Or . . . maybe both! I don’t think I will be sweating! The drips on my cheek will be raindrops!

Rain is what makes Seattle so green and luscious. Rain makes the flowers bloom so exuberantly. And today, if I make good headway on my list, today I might let myself go to Lowe’s and/or Home Depot! Oh, I can hardly wait!

  4. Disturbed – the people here were SO happy they had a gorgeous weekend, they bought truckloads of flowers for their yards and spent most of the weekend gardening. They will tell you that the so much rain makes them feel moldy!

    Mrm – LOL, Mrm, coming up!

    Really, Enigma? You want cold and gloom and rain, too? The sun is back out now and I can tell you, sun = happier mood!
