Why Is It Raining in the House? Weekend Recap
Guten Morgan this fine Monday. I hope your weekend was a bitchin one and you're ready for a short week. (Or maybe you pup owners are breaking out the Thunder shirts in anticipation of the people who are going to be setting off fireworks for the next seven days. I know we always have people setting them off at random usually starting tonight. I do actually miss sparklers from when I was a kid and conducting a symphony to make shapes in the air burned into your vision.) Friday was exhausting y'all. I had to get some worm spray for a looper worm infestation on my brassicas (who the hell am I??) and whilst poking around the nursery with lightning and looming thunder Thursday night, I spotted a flat of begonias marked down to $10. Given my zinnias couldn't stay in the long planters because they need sun, I had to relent and buy the begonias. Anything to block the sea hag from peeking over. So Friday morning I got to work picking of...
It was so nice to get out and ride in the snow. Worth the drive and good for the soul!
ReplyDeleteI love when the weather does the unexpected. A cool overcast day in the summer, a warm day in the winter (but like one warm day, not the whole winter), snow or rain any time of the year. I love overcast grey days when everyone else is griping about the weather. To be fair though, I would probably get tired of it if I lived somewhere that has that type of weather all the time.
ReplyDeleteThe sleigh ride sounds wonderful. I'm so glad you guys were able to make it happen.
So happy you got your sleigh ride!! Looked like a spectacular day! And that does rejuvenate the soul.
ReplyDeleteWeather-wise for me I, too, like cloudy days, especially with the smell of spring in the air. I enjoy rainstorms, but since my one little fella stresses in those, I've tamped down my enthusiasm. I'm not a winter person, nor a summer person, and I'm finding autumn to be less and less of a season the past five years or so. But spring is pretty consistent it seems. If I can be sitting on a dock on a small lake and hear nothing but rustling trees, fish and frogs plopping in water, and the lapping of small waves, no matter what the temperature is, that's my happy place.
If you want to see massive amounts of snow I would suggest Googling images of St. John's, Newfoundland. They had a massive storm late last week and are still trying to dig themselves out.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up, I recall weeks with snow on the ground. I miss that. Yes, I'm a little further south now but my hometown doesn't get a whole lot more snow. I was up in Toledo on Saturday and it was so windy the cold wasn't fun. But since I was driving I was just grateful we didn't get the wintery mix that was predicted.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to get out and enjoy it! Looks like a great ride.
