We did manage to have a couple decent, sunny days this weekend but, once again, the clouds are out and we're getting rain. Normally, I wouldn't care too much because I need the rain to make my garden grow. But, my plants also need some sun. In fact, I could use a little myself. I might have to start taking Vitamin D pills again at this rate.

After having to turn our furnace back on yesterday and then suffer from the dreariness that normally comes with dark, cold and rainy weather, I'm hoping the sun manages to fight through the clouds today, even if it is just for a couple hours. My lawn is in desperate need of being mowed but, with all the rain we've had, I need it to have an opportunity to dry out a bit. Otherwise, I'm going to be mowing through mud and having to unclog the mower every few feet. As a result, I'm not really sure what I plan on doing today. I may just wind up getting stuff done inside the house.
