fall....

it's always a bit of a transition

when fall arrives

but once i get in the groove of it

and get over the fact that i am going to see

the sun only a handful of hours a day

i embrace the chill, shades of oranges,

dark woods, warm sweaters,

and rain boots.

Rain, Rain go away....

I am so tired of the rain.

We have broken all kinds of records

around rain fall, number of rainy days,

days with out hitting 60....

So many records and one's 

we really are quite tired of breaking.

We are so lucky in Oregon,

we can flush our toilets as much as we want

cause we are never without rain.

I know I should not complain but

should be thankful we don't have a drought

but I have to tell you it would be nice

to see a little sun. 

A day or two a  week would be the break

we all need to dry out,  just a little.

We have a bunch of furniture that 

needs cleaned, refinished or painted

and I have to tell you this rain isn't helping.

I know we will see the sun again soon

but it couldn't get here soon enough.

Ok, I promise to stop kavetching

and go take my Vitamin D.

Thanks for listening. 

Till the sun comes out.

Rain....

it has been biblical rain here in the lovely
Pacific Northwest and being a born and
raised PNW girl myself you would think
all this rain would be just fine with me,
not so much.
my husband says that it's that time of year
and i just need to suck it up cause it's not
going to go away. i reminded him that i usually
start getting water logged in february and
have made it to mid-march before turning
into a pile of wet newspaper. i think this is
a vast improvement. don't you?
with that in mind i realized that maybe i
just needed some color, so dug through
some of my old photos and found a few
that reminded me that, yes,  we will see
the sun again and color will return to life
her in the pacific northwest.
