** It's Friday....and... "There Ain't No Sunshine...♫♪.."

Well.....it was another lovely day of no sunshine here in this part of the country. The forecast was for at least partial sun, but alas the meteorologists were wrong again....Now, we may possibly catch a glimpse of that beautiful golden ball by NEXT TUESDAY. Awww...I said I'd quit complaining about the weather, but it's kind of hard sometimes! If I wanted to live in this kind of climate, I wouldn't be living in the Midwest, I'd be living in the Seattle/Tacoma area! And, I have lived there before.....and it really was depressing. I must've lived there at least a month before I knew Mt. Rainier could be seen right outside my apartment window! It took that long for the clouds to move on, the rain and fog to disappear, and the skies to clear up!

Oh well, the last I heard we'll be getting colder temps and snow flurries later next week.....and I'll be in Iowa for a Women's Writing Retreat, so I could be in the middle of a blizzard there! 

No sense complaining about the weather....It could always be worse.

  1. Women's Writer Retreat? Intriguing and fun. You said you'd get away to write, have a great time. Wish I were headed somewhere. Be sure to blog all about it.

  2. I'm sorry to hear you are still without sunshine, Becky. Hope you get some soon. Here in Ohio, we say, if you don't like the weather, just wait a little bit, and it will change. It really does seem to fluctuate wildly sometimes. I hope you enjoy the retreat!

  3. I think we're all feeling pretty sunlight deprived. Wonder if the docs are having an influx of seasonal affective disorder complaints?

  4. I'm hoping the sun will come out here soon too! I need to take some pictures and natural light is so much better. They're predicting possible thunderstorms for us tomorrow.

  5. Thanks, Linda! When I mentioned wanting to get away to write, I didn't know about this retreat. I can't wait to attend! It sounds awesome and I'll definitely blog about it!

    Thanks, Daisy! They have that same saying about the weather in St. Louis!!

    Thanks, Pat! Yeah, I think there's a bunch of us suffering from "S.A.D." right now!! Apropos name!

    Thanks, Janel! I hope you get to enjoy the sunlight soon, too!
