When people complain about the constant rain/cloudiness of the Pacific Northwest, I simply smile. It is relatively rare to have complete grayness all day here and we get much less precipitation than many believe. But some would rather always focus on the negatives; I work at not doing so. Some days it IS hard work.
On my walk, I snapped this photo; as I've mentioned before, many only look at the clouds and don't appreciate the sun and blue sky. I see both--that's why I carry an umbrella while wearing my prescription sunglasses.
Mari loves finding the sunny spots in the house.
So does Carol whom I'm cat sitting this weekend at her own place, five minutes away. She's a pretty kitty too although Mari hates her. When the two of them were living here, it was a nightmare.
Older Daughter wanted to know if I could meet Little Guy and her at a local nursery to look at/for plants. Of course! There were so many tempting flowers and other things there. While we were waiting in line for her to pay for her purchases, including an orange rhody that LG picked out, I spotted these and thought they were hilarious and worthy of photo immortality. :) Have I mentioned my sometimes inappropriate sense of humor?
When it isn't sunny, we have to look elsewhere for our source of light. A baby's smile is the ultimate mood lifter! In other happy news, watching my mom sweep out her garage yesterday was amazing; a month ago I thought she would be in Hospice. As for my own medical news, the UTI is resolving nicely and I'm feeling normal. John is enjoying San Diego, a beautiful city with nearly perfect weather. However, as he and I suspected, the project car needs work--something about front wheel bearing issues and valve adjustments, difficult on a mid-engine vehicle. So, it's up in the air when they'll be back and how that journey will go. A metaphor for everything in life? Who knows.
