It's been raining since about 9 this morning. It's kind of nice actually. During the part of our kitchen remodeling where we were under major destruction construction, and our furniture and appliances were outside, it only rained one time for about 20 minutes.
So, in 2006 so far, rain has been a rare thing. St. Petersburg famously boasts on their website 360 days of sunshine. You can do the math I'm sure.
I'm from Pittsburgh, where rain is a part of everyday life. Sure, I prefer the sunshine, but lately I've kind of missed rainy days. They are good for a lot of things; sleeping in, relaxing, reading a book or watching a movie with someone special. Sigh... Oh, and they're also good at preventing the kind of natural disaster we had last week: wild fires.
Yeah, I just wanted to say that I'm enjoying the overcast sky and the gentle rain that we have going on today. As long as it's sunny again tomorrow that is.

UH! You may not wish to want too much rain, though I suppose that 11 inches up in the North East is more like a flood! We are expecting very strange conditions over the next few months ... conditions even the weather folks can't predict.

Stopping by via Blog Explosion...
It's been raining here for about a week now. It was nice at first. Everything got really green and there was that clean, fresh smell when the rain would stop. But it's getting old now.
