Today is a very exciting day for us - we should see the sun this afternoon! Last time I saw the sun was last Sunday, when we went for our last joy ride of the season (we both rode to work Monday and Tuesday). But it has been severely cloudy since then (not just cloudy, but with very dark clouds). I heard rumors that the sun shone for a short time on Wednesday, but couldn't confirm that myself. We finaly got 1.5" of rain yesterday and once that system moves out we are supposed to have sunny skies.
It's bad enough that with the time change I leave the house in the dark, get to work in the dark and get home in the dark, the least that could happen is I get to see some sun on the way home (at least for the next week or so - then I will be leaving work in the dark too).
Bogie--It is only fitting that you should get the sun while we get the clouds. It started raining at around Midnight and is supposed to continue until at least 5 PM. We can, however, handle the rain.
I have planted 11 new bushes (and transplanted a couple of other "sprigs" of holly) in the last few weeks, so the rain means I needn't water, so much. I would blog about it, but I'm still having trouble with TypePad. I can now, at least, log into the Dashboard; but, none of the links to "Compose" works for me. Gah! It probably has something to do with the multitudinous updates that I downloaded from Microsoft a couple of weeks ago. I'll keep working at it.

I was mistaken, we got 2" of rain on Saturday - not that it makes much of a difference one way or t'other.

While, for some areas .5" would be a big deal, not so much in your area. We had 1" on Sunday, and more this morning (haven't checked the rain gage, yet.)
