One of nature’s greatest gifts is when clouds gather and moisture falls to the ground. Whether it’s snow or rain, it feels like a genuine miracle particularly when it has been dry. I also like when rain cools off a hot day.

All the same, I’m ready to cry uncle. Holy cow. It has rained so much lately that I’m starting to mold. Worst of all, any nice weather we have seems to come during the workday. My free time has been very, very damp.

The good news is that the flowers (and weeds) love it. The weeds are quickly taking over but I have lots of roses, peonies and daisies blooming all side any number of plants that promise to flower soon.

Spring in Ohio can be incredibly wet and unpredictable. I hate to complain because it won’t be long before summer moves in and the sun leaves the earth parched and a lack of rain makes us long for moisture.

What’s it like in your neck of the woods?
