Dark & Stormy

Yesterday's weather made me think of Snoopy and his endless writings on "It was a dark and stormy night".  I understand that we need the rain - last weekend there were weather alerts warning us of brush fires so we can definitely use the rain.

But can't it be a gentle rain with the sun still partially shining?  Must it be cold, dreary, windy, gray and just miserable??!?

I am trying to rush the season in - I have washed my down coats and put them and my wool coats away.  I am now ready to put away my wool suits and tweed jackets - I know that one day soon this weather will change and I can wear cotton t-shirts and light jackets.

Soon, very soon as they say, "the sun will come out tomorrow".
