Don't get me wrong, I love the rain. I love that I don't have to water my flowers or the garden. I love the fresh smell of everything before and after the rain comes. I just would like for Mother Nature to hold off on the wet stuff until after my two crazy boys get a chance to run off all of that excess energy, I get to mow the yard and plant all of my flowers, and I get a chance to sit outside and just listen to the birds chirp. You see, I enjoy being outside. No, I need to be outside...if even for 30 minutes. Gentle breeze on my face, sun shining down, vitamin D flowing through my veins again...it's a necessity. I even bore my kids to death by making them take weekly trips to the local zoo just so we can run around some place other than my backyard.
So, please Mother Nature, hold off on the raining, windy, cold weather until sometime this fall. Or at least become a nocturnal lady...I hear the moonlight does wonders for wrinkles.
