I'm so fed up with the rain but then again who isn't!
I suppose that the title of this blog says it all. It has been raining since Sunday and I think that it also rained last week. Not that it matters, since the rain seems endless and it could have been raining for months for all I know! I think that it might be my fault. In novels (not any that I would write) sometimes nature reflects the feelings of a main character. If my life were a novel, then that would explain the rain. Then again, I've often thought that if the weather improved in some of those novels perhaps the lives of the heroes and heroines would too. How cold, wet and depressing was Wuthering Heights but if they had lived in the tropics or even southern Europe, how different their lives would have been. You can't brood when the sun is shining, at least not for long.

For a moment I thought I'd bring up Gene Kelly happily dancing and singing in the rain. Then I remembered that the scene was so obviously a Hollywood soundstage and the real weather outside was probably unrelentingly sunny.
I wonder what the record is for the number of consecutive days of rain? And the number of consecutive days without rain? Don't know what help that information might be, just wondering about it..
We may be approaching a record here in Reno for consecutive days of rain. Very strange to see wet pavement. Very strange to see hear the rain falling. Very strange to see the hills as green rather than that dried out brown. And by green, I mean that deep dark mossy green that I think the hills of Ireland might be...though I've never been to Ireland. mj
