Yesterday, I reported on Facebook that I had poured two inches of partly cloudy out of the rain gauge. It does seem to work that way at times. Lately it seems like this:
I thought about this haiku that I wrote last year.
Sun and Rain
Brightly shone the sun
Soon clouds ruled and rain fell
Then the sun returned
At least this story has a happy ending.
What do you expect for this time of year in Michigan? Me? I expect rain.
Sun promises to return late next spring. Until then, expect only cameo appearances.
I’m fine with rain for now, but I want more snow this winter.
Okay. One of us is apt to be more pleased this winter than the other. I’ll try not to mind too much if it’s you that more pleased. :angel: Really I will. :zip:
And we had a beautiful sporadic sighting today! I think it’s going to be a jacket (not a coat) day, woo hoo! 🙂
Love you haiku!
Love your pictures! The rain had pretty much ended in the Ann Arbor area by the time we arrived here on Sunday. I do enjoy Michigan, but have a hard time adjusting to the dampness in the air during fall and winter. I always freeze when I first arrive and miss dry Colorado!
We’re into that part of the year when some Michiganians begin to hit the road for parts south. They’ll be back in the spring. I’m more in tune with the grizzled old New England Yankee who is said to have said, “If ya cahnt stand tha wintahs, ya don’t desuvh the summahs.” And summers in Michigan are not a bit short of glorious. 😀
The sunless season has arrived here as well. We goats spent most of yesterday in the barn due to rain. Bruce and Clarence were NOT in favor of this.
It certainly took a while for you to receive some rain. 🙁 Why am I not surprised that Bruce and Clarence would cop an attitude like that? :dontknow: They are so cute. and lively. :surrender: I really enjoy seeing your pics and videos of those kids. :up:
