The weather has been pretty grey and drizzly lately, and that suits me just fine. With all the snow we got in February, I thought that would translate into a lot of both rainwater and snow pack but it turns out I was wrong. Then March was a dry, warm, sunny month so I started worrying that what has turned into an annual drought event in BC was going to have started even before spring this year. The local rivers are already at unheard of, unseasonably low levels, so it was certainly a little frightening.
Thankfully, the last few weeks have been a good mix of typical spring weather, and I can’t remember feeling this grateful for drizzly, grey days. My fave weather is an overcast day with a temperature in the high teens/low 20’s because then I can work outside lots without burning or generally wanting to die from the heat, but I’ll take working in the light rain over working in warm, sunny conditions any day. Add to that my anxieties about worsening droughts and forest fires and I’m practically French-kissing the puddles on my driveway. Each day that we get even just a misting of rain means one less day of white knuckles as I watch the news for word of how nearby forest fires are growing and spreading, and that’s a great thing.
Let it rain all fucking year, for all I care. I don’t care if I never see a sunny day again. Wait, haven’t I said this all before?
Oh yes, I did, right here. Haha, and that post is way better than this one! Jeez, I’m both thin on material and a broken record. Why does anyone even read this piece of shit anymore? Put a fork in me, for Pete’s sake.
