MONDAY'S MUSINGS--RAIN/SNOW? REALLY?

Hope you all had a great St. Paddy's. Ours was interrupted by rain/snow. It's the new catchword this spring around here. Rain/snow. It's almost April I'm still contending with rain/snow. It's not even one word, but two, although you wouldn't know it if you listen to the weather forecasts--or read them. 

To have rain/snow it has to be cool. Okay, cold. That whole windchill factor and gusty winds just wrecked havoc with my desire to do a jig. Or even move at all. It just cut right through to the bones and mine aren't real happy, right now, with rain/snow. The good news is, today, temps are back up to 50 and we have drizzle. But tomorrow and Wednesday we get sunshine and nice southwest breeze that reminds me again that it really is spring.

I have to tell you, not only do I have an aversion to rain/snow, but cold dark days and I don't get along well either. Ugh. I get the urge to hibernate. Creativity is at a low and so is my mood. In the defense of rain/snow and icky gray days I've surrounded myself with bright lights and flower catalogs. Not as good as the real thing but it focused my mind onto something else. 

At least the birds are singing outside my window. I'm planning on reveling in the sunshine the next two day because Thursday and Friday plan on dumping more rain/snow and cold temps. Oh, and another word I don't like to hear, accumulation--as in a chance of snow accumulation. 

All I gotta say is April better come in like a lamb.
