Last night I lay in bed hearing the rain and thinking - alright, already, this is enough, we don't need any more rain. I'm done. Evidently Mother Nature isn't, but I am finished. Green is nice and all that, but what about WARM. What about my sandals? What about a sunny day at the park? What about walking the dogs without an umbrella? Now I'm thinking of the ecstatic mosquitoes. How they are breeding in water standing around because we have too much of a good thing. Ticks are probably happy, too. I foresee being unable to sit out on the deck at the cabin or the patio here because we're bitten to pieces like some bad sci fi movie. I may be forced to use DEET on my skin, and thereby risk DNA damage. Citronella will be my new perfume. I will be forced to wear ski wear to protect myself, and therefore the shorts and flip flops time will NEVER come.
You may call me grumpy, talk about the glass half empty, or whatever. But for heaven's sakes, admit that everyone deserves a little spring and summer. Even us ingrates.
