Here comes the rain again...

I have to admit I'm procrastinating. AGAIN. There, now that that's out of the way...

I am a summer girl. There is absolutely no way to get around it. I get sad when I see the leaves turn, miffed when they have the audacity to fall. Really ticked when the island rains begin and our long season of sameness hits - wind, rain, more wind, clouds, some sun, then back to the wind and rain. I'd be more accepting, slightly, if I didn't live in a house with quite so many leaks and drainage problems. Or if I didn't have to traipse outside in said rain and/or wind to do laundry. Which is one of the things I'm avoiding right now.

Because its raining.

I have to admit, in a perverse way, because its the first rain in over a month, I do like the sound of it. Just like I enjoy the sound when I'm camping and it rains (because I have a curse, it always rains when I camp.). But being inside and listening to the sound is lovely. For one day. Then it can stop, thank you very much. Days of deluge are just not for me. Maybe its in part because where I live, we get sun for about 4 months, and rain for the rest. not snow, or other recognizable signs of seasonal changes. Rain. And wind, of course. So tonight, other than having to go and do laundry, which requires going out in the rain, I can accept the sound and even enjoy it a bit. Knowing, having checked the Weather Network, that not only is is only forecast for tonight, but that they're predicting an unseasonably warm and dry fall.

Hopefully it won't rain for our ferry trip tomorrow morning. We've never taken this ferry and I'm looking forward to it, but it won't be as pretty in the rain. And Galiano won't be as fun to explore. And maybe people won't come pout to Rob's reading. So here's hoping for drier skies in the morning!
