Love a good rain

I really love a good rain, of course if it's late in the evening, I love the sound of the rain pounding of the ground it can be very relaxing. I am sitting here right now listening to one heck of a rain storm come down. Now my puppy doesn't like it much as she doesn't like to go outside in the rain and needs to be dragged out and put under the tree so she won't get wet the big baby.

Rainy Day

What a yucky day I have woken up to, it is raining very hard and no one wants to go outside, not even the dog. She got up wanting to go out and we put here on her chain and opened the door, she ran out, turned around and came right back in. Hubby had to put her on the leash and take her out under the tree to do her business so she wouldn't get wet, he did though LOL.

WHAT IS UP WITH THIS?......

OMG the weather here just plain sucks. I can't think of any other way to put it. It rained all weekend and today it's gray and cold. We still don't have the siding finished on the side of the house and with rain again all this week it probably won't get finished until someday next week now. This has almost been a month and I WANT IT DONE! It is around 0 degrees Celsius here with the windchill and yesterday it snowed. Yep Happy Mother's Day it was. No it was great just not the weather. I think I am just going to have to face the fact that we don't get the really warm temperatures that we use to get.

Snow oops Rain

We went to bed last night expecting a big snow storm over night and when we awoke this morning it appeared as though we would not be disappointed as a beautiful new blanket of white fluffy snow was on the ground. It was a picturous snows where everything had a little coat of white fluffy. This changed rapidly as we dropped the kids at school at 8:30 and headed into town for some errands by 8:45 it was freezing rain, ick and by 9 it was pouring rain. Coming out of the bank shortly after 11 all our beautiful snow was gone replaced by big splashy puddles. It was pretty while it lasted.

WET AND MESSY WEATHER

This winter has brought us some snow but more heavy rain than anything. Today I was doing my usual dace class drop off and pick up hubby from work run and to make it miserable it was pouring rain outside. As I pulled into the mall parking lot I saw a man in the rain struggling to put his wife's wheelchair in his van. It got me to realize that without proper wheelchair lifts it does make things harder. Having a chair lift would have been so much easier for him and a lot faster to get our of the rain. By the time I was parked he was in his vehicle so I wasn't able to help, no one likes to be in the rain any longer than necessary.

***NOT MUCH SNOW AND....

...The kids are off to school today. No snow day for them but I think they were just has happy to off to school to see their friends. I am so lucky to have children who enjoy and look forward to going to school. It makes my morning that much easier. There wasn't a whole lot of snow that fell overnight and the driveway clean up didn't take long to do. We are expecting warming temperatures today along with some rain so I couldn't promise the kids that the snow will be here when they come home later on this afternoon. They can't wait to go sliding!
