Enough With The YUcky Weather Already

We are growing mushrooms in our armpits from lack of sun and too much of the wet stuff. I know I have that seasonal depression thing. I can take it for a while but comon. Last night Joe and I went to a couples Valentines dinner at church. It was put on by the youth group (the one that Cady quit) and aside from terrible serving skills it was great. Nother story. Got home and as we stepped down from the truck this incredible smell hit us both. There is nothing like the smell of rain in the desert. The sage and mesquite it carries you away. Well it does until you remember that there is about 3 logs left on the porch and if you can smell it then the rain is gonna be hitting your head, like now. Since I am all dressed up in my nice clothes Joe has to change shoes and run like hell. We actually have plenty of wood this winter. Joe splits and stacks as much as will fit on the back porch as we need it. Maybe 3 times a month. I hate fighting with him over the wood thing. I used to do it myself. I have back and knee issues now and can only do a little. I cannot haul any wood. it sucks. I like to do it myself. I saw myself as Carolyn Ingals on Little House. Don't laugh, I really did and I loved it. Nursing my baby Cady by the fireplace. I had to, it was the only heat source. Anyhow, it has been raining and snowing for 2 days. We have 3 dogs. The only way out to the yard involves my nice living room rug. I just went outside and picked up poop. But the mudd I cannot get rid of. I have strewn sheets all over the place and it looks wonderful. Its easier than washing each and every paw. 12 paws is too much for me. I think we are ready for some warm days and playing outside with the kids. I was glad to see winter and make a fire and get cozy and cuddle up on the couch together and all that. I have had enough thank you. Gimme back the sun. I can't wait to plant some pansies. It's coming I can feel it. Just a little longer thats all. If I knew how to put tunes on here you would be listening to the Beatles playing "Here Comes The Sun".
