It’s raining, and not in a gentle spring showers, singing in the rain sort of way. We’re talking more of a relentlessly pounding, daylong downpour, time to build an ark deluge.
Now I’m not usually one to complain about rain. I’ve enjoyed more than my fair share of curling up under a throw for a rainy day Netflix marathon – it can be a good reboot from time to time and I’ve never been one to shy away from a fresh start. Shoot, I figure I can use all the fresh starts I can get, thank you very much.
I’m certain we’ve had rainy Corona days, too. March and April had their fair share of showers, but this week? This week is different. This is the first Corona week I can remember where it’s rained every single day.
Monday – rain. Tuesday – rain. Wednesday – rainy rain rain that soaked through all the other rain covered spaces.
What’s on tap for Thursday? You guessed it, more rain. We’ll be lucky if the backyard doesn’t up and float away by lunchtime. Now I don’t mind the nature sprinkler system and I can’t really complain about having an excuse to be a little lazy during a personally blah week but I have to say it’s probably healthier for us as a whole not to be literally trapped inside these walls. I’m gonna need this weather system to unpark itself and move right along tout suite.
Either that or we’re gonna have to start working on that ark.
We had a break in the rain after dinner and went for a short walk. Everything is so green! The rain started up again after we got home, so it’s gonna get even greener. My backyard might turn into a jungle before I can keep up with it. Oh, well.

Oh yes, the hubby has had to kick up his mowing schedule. It’s rained so hard and so long that stupid grass will be a foot tall before he can get his mower back out again!

I do like the green, though. The green, the fresh smell, those spring things always cheer me up a bit.

We had lots of rainy days last week, but mostly gentle “singing in the rain” kind of rain. We needed it. This week the clouds and sun are discussing who should prevail, buy it’s been dry. Here’s hoping yours passes soon.

From your lips…I don’t mind the gentle plant saving sprinkles, even the ones that last all day, but the pounding rain that turns the backyard into mudland is tough to take.

Yes. Am currently working on my plans for an ark. How clever of you to know this!

We should compare blueprints! I’m thinking of going with a safari theme myself, or maybe plaids and polka dots. 😉

It’s raining here too. But then it reasons here most days.

I’d like to think I’d adjust if it was an everyday sort of thing.

You have our rain. It’s bizarre here. Up to the lockdown, it was floor after flood, storm after storm. But as soon as the lockdown started it’s been basically dry. Whisper it, even sunny. But I can see very black clouds heading our way.

Okay, for you – just for you and your sunny day wellbeing – we will keep your rain for a few more days. But then you must take it back. For the sake of everyone in this house THE RAIN MUST GO AWAY. 😆
