I’m so ready for the rain to stop ...

Camy here! Give me a hollaback if you’re tired of winter yet???

I know I shouldn’t complain because we don’t have snow here in Northern California, just lots of rain. The above picture is my cyclamen in the backyard. (And those of you who know me know that the fact the cyclamen is alive is a miracle in itself, considering my black thumb!)

One big problem with it raining is that I get lazy, exercise wise. I have the perfect excuse not to run or, even worse, not to walk the poor dog who has been cooped up in the house all day. My laziness comes out in full force at the first sign of falling water.

There’s also the fact the house is so cold! Again, all you Northerners will poo-poo my wimpiness, but remember that I’m originally a Hawaii girl! It’s probably good my husband is from Arizona so we can be wimpy together.

So as I write this, I am sighing at the rain turning my backyard into a swimming pool (thanks to poor drainage). But my bearded irises are loving the rain and growing well (no thanks to me) and hopefully will flower in a few weeks. Some neighbors with greener thumbs than mine already had some pretty bearded irises in their front laws that I saw when I went running on Saturday.

What’s the weather like at your house?

Well today is better than yesterday. Yesterday I woke to about two inches of snow on the ground. It had melted by mid afternoon. I live in Colorado Springs and April snows are not unusual but I am tired of it. I want Spring to come and stay until Summer.

Hi Camy, Here in GA the pollen is so thick it is like fog on the interstate. It rained a little 1 day last wk and not to rain again till Tuesday. :( The only way to get rid of the pollen is rain so we pray for rain every other day. Everything is yellow even the shurbs, flowers, my silver car, patio, etc. I don't like cold weather so I was glad to see the 80's last week now the 70's..
Hope the rain stops for you and moves here. LOL :)
