Oregon Spring

Today in Oregon we had all kinds of weather...sun, rain, snow, hail, and a couple very loud claps of thunder. Trevor was outside trying to catch "some of those white balls falling from the sky" and then a huge clap of thunder rolled overhead and he didn't waste any time coming back inside. While most of the time I love living in Oregon, this spring I'm starting to feel like I've grown webbed feet. It has been raining and raining and raining and raining...you get the idea. It's not the gloomy winter rain with endless gray skies, but the rain that comes down in buckets for 15 minutes or so, then it stops and the sun comes out. Then an hour later it does the same thing, on and on and on. AND, it's been cold.
I'm waiting and waiting (I'm not a very patient person) for the nice weather to come because I have some beautiful flowers I bought that I can't wait to plant out in the yard. And I can't wait to plant our garden (this one might not happen but it's still our goal). So, go away rain...we've had enough!

On the bright side though, my lawn looks fantastic!

You can always come visit us in Arizona if you need some heat and continuous sunshine!! We never run out here! :) Good luck with the flowers and garden!
