it won't quit raining

**uforgot** · 05-03-2009, 07:12 AM

I'm tired of it too. I can't even walk in the yard without sinking. It was suppose to hold off until 3 today, so I was headed to St. Louis for the River Des Peres Ramble. Started raining on me before I was on the road for 5 minutes. I just turned around and came home. I'm not up for riding in the rain.

the difference is, you can go out and ride easily and safely during most of our "rainy" days. It's a rare day when we get the kind of rain that makes floods and even our thunderstorms are rare and puny compared to any of yours.

And you probably don't have a tornado or two thrown in for good measure!

Mickchick, 350 days of endless sunshine is no picnic, either. Especially when it is 112 degrees for 5 of those months. Set your oven to 400, open the door and stick your head in. That's what it feels like.
The saddest video we have is one of "rain" falling off of the roof of our patio cover. Yes, rain was so infrequent, my DH felt compelled to take a video of it.

Yesterday we were coming back from our ride on the first sun-break in an awfully long time, through the flooded fields, and we saw two deer bounding across a field, then across our road, then into the next field... and then they had rather suddenly stopped and walked slowly... we wondered why (deer interval training?) until they got to the edge of the field and stepped out and the mud all over their hooves showed exactly why they were unable to proceed. I'm glad none of 'em actually got sucked down... and whether or not they ever do. I can't help but think a deer could break a leg in that stuff.

It worked! We had sunshine yesterday.

Now we're back to rain again.

It wouldn't bother me! I'm a native East Coaster (mid-Atlantic) but I love the heat.

Not me, mickchick. I spent 28 years of my life in endless Summer in south Florida. Hot, steamy, summer all the time. Yawwwwwn.

I love Spring, but I am dreading summer already.

It's been raining constantly here too. My yard is soaked and my dogs imitating rugs because they're depressed - then after dark they decide it's playtime and start chasing each other through the house to burn off a little energy.

It's been raining so long i won't be able to cut the grass with a mower, I may need to have it brush-hogged
