Apparently this year hasn't set a record for rainfall in my area but I can't remember a rainier one. There are a few benefits from all of this rain....the plants are growing like crazy and no-one has a burnt lawn. Other than that, we've had too many flooded basements and ruined vacation plans for many.
The weather rules our lives, doesn't it? We tend to complain about the heat, the cold, too much rain, or too little rain. We don't like shovelling snow, either. When we get those relatively few perfect days it sets our nerves on edge because we don't quite believe it's really happening. Surely there must be a horrendous and devastating storm lurking just beyond the horizon, right?
When I'm in Florida for the winter, I get to enjoy one perfect day after another with the odd not so perfect one. I still worry that there's something bad (like a tornado or hurricane) just waiting offshore to spring on us when we least expect it, though.
Right now my yard is sopping wet from the latest rainfall that roared through here this afternoon. The grass is emerald green and the flowers are lush and full of color. Everything looks clean. Maybe all this rain isn't so bad when you think about it.
