I was born in a snowstorm and married in a snow storm. Every time I plan an outdoor event, the weather prevents it from happening as planned. Need a drought to end, call me and ask me to plan a picnic. Want to use your new skis? Ask me to make a hotel reservation for a nice mid-Winter get-away. I promise you will have more snow than you bargained for. It never fails.
So, you can blame me. Totally beat me up and drag me around the block. It hasn't stopped raining in what seems like forever this Spring. The merry month of May is starting off on a poor footing. Not only does it rain, it pours, all day and night. I know, April showers, blah, blah, blah. But this is beyond that point and as I look at the forecast for next week, guess what? Days of rain ahead.
Yes, I'm guilty. I did it and did it good this time. Together with my husband, we conspired. We built and air-tight reservoir replenishment system. We beg your forgiveness.
Our brand new, very expensive but worth it on a sunny day, patio was completed just before the first of the Monsoon events. Flower pots out, new furniture, Romanesque fountain in place, Rosemary bush, solar spotlights on our outdoor artwork. You name it. We got it. And, as I glanced around, on that one last sunny day, as I took it all in and appreciated it with all my heart, I uttered these words....
"It's probably going to rain all Summer"
I'm sorry.
