Rain or Shine
The grass needs rain desperately, don’t you think? We need it so badly! It’s been so dry lately, I can’t believe it. My flowers are wilting and I have to water them daily! I just don’t have time for it. My sprinkler is set to constantly run and my garden is in dire need of rain. Let’s do a rain dance tonight. My herbs are drying out and they all need the ----
It’s been wet for twelve Saturdays in a row! I wish it would do it’s thing on the weekdays so that we can have a nice weekend for once! It’s horrible. My event was cancelled because of the rain and my kids are driving me up the wall and I just can’t believe our luck. What did we do to deserve this? It's so awful. We can’t go out, we can’t enjoy ourselves, we can’t live our lives. I thought summer was to enjoy the ----
The pollen this year is so bad, have your allergies been bad recently? I think it’s the worst year on record, don’t you? I of course want the flowers to bloom and the grass to grow and the pine trees to blossom and of course that is beautiful and all but good GOD my allergies are just off the charts these days and I cannot stand it. I can’t wait to enjoy my life again and just be able to be outside without sneezing and taking 500mg of allergy meds per day during these months of ----
Did you hear that thunderstorm last night? It was so loud it woke us up from the dead of sleep. We lost power for I don’t know how long. The dog slept in the bathtub and my kids were so terrified. We lost a tree limb in our back yard but that wasn’t as bad as my neighbors! Theirs got hit by lightning. Can you imagine? I just hope the storms stop being so intense, it’s actually starting to be scary out there. I’m starting to believe in ----
Can you believe how hot it’s been? This heat wave is killing me. I can’t go for walks in this heat, I would pass out! I’m sweating in parts of my body that I didn’t know could sweat! I’ve had the AC blasting in every room of my house, have you? Can you believe the amount we have to pay to stay comfortable in our homes? What SPF are you wearing these days? We really have to be careful now. I cannot wait for this heat wave to be over so we can ----
I don’t remember the wind being so bad last year, was it this bad before? It feels like summer went by so quickly! The other day, my car almost swerved off the road it was so windy. The leaves are falling off the trees incessantly! It happened all of a sudden! I had to spend the entire weekend raking them. It’s just such a slog. Why do the leaves have to fall from the trees anyway, could they just stay on so we don’t have to clear them from our lawns each year for crying out loud ----
Oh shit. Winter is here, it feels like it came on without ANY warning, did it feel like that to you? It was like 60 degrees yesterday and today it’s hitting freezing already!? I can’t believe we’re already in the holiday season. I don’t even want to wait at the bus stop, it’s so cold. Get ready for Cold season too, and I hear Covid and the Flu are at their worst ever. Have you gotten your vaccinations yet? Ugh it’s because everyone is going inside, isn’t it? I can’t even feel my fingers. I have to book our vacation to get some sun on my face. At least if it’s going to be this cold out we could have some ----
How many inches did you get in your neck of the woods? We got 12 inches last night – can you believe it!? I wonder if the schools will actually make it a snow day or just make us trudge through traffic again. I had to borrow my neighbor’s snow blower just to get out of the driveway. We had 18 inches last week and we were stuck in our house because the drifts went up our front door so much that we couldn’t open it! It’s too much, absolutely too much – and all at once too which is just insane. Watch out while you’re driving out there ----
The ice on these roads is absolutely madness, especially the black ice. It comes out of nowhere when you least expect it. You can really get into trouble out there so probably best not to drive. And don’t even think about walking out to your car! My sister slipped on her front stoop just getting her mail. She took three steps and whoop fell flat on her back. The ice is just awful, the snow melts and then freezes and we just can’t catch a break can we? I just can’t wait until ----
It's just dreary and murky and all you can see for miles is brown during mud season, am I right? The trees are just bare and ugly and black against the gray sky, it just depresses me. Do you have Seasonal Affective Disorder? I do. Have you seen any signs of spring yet? Oh god did you see that Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow? Ugh… wait, which one does that mean? Six more weeks of winter or are we finally going to get a break from this ----
Dear god, all of a sudden the lawn needs mowing – are you doing “No Mow May” or what? We need to start thinking about the garden. Have you gotten your seedlings yet or have you started them inside or what’s your plan for vegetables and are you doing the herb container garden or will you skip it this year since it’s been so dry these last few years?
