Archive Troubles Mixed With Sunshine 'Yuck!
It seems I've been having some problems with my archives. All you get when you click on an archive link is an error message. (I think I messed it up while playing around with my template.) While my wonderful husband works to figure this out I have changed the settings so all my posts show on the main page of the blog. I hope this doesn't change your load time for the page at all. But for anyone who has been curious about my past posts, now you have they chance to read them.
It was kinda funny, I was thinking about writing a post about the rain, but I knew I had written one about rain in the past (in 2003) and I wanted to be sure I wasn't repeating myself. That post I wrote back then was about how it was raining at the time and how I love the rain. So, this post will have a bit of a different feel.
I looked it up. Today is the 130th day without any trace of measurable precipitation here in Phoenix. That means the last time we had any rain or any sprinkle was back in October. December and January are supposed to be rainy months here. (As rainy as it gets when you get less that 8" of rain a year.) There have been a few windy days here and there which has helped but not often enough. Overall it has been sunny, wonderful temperatures and all in all beautiful weather. I am beginning to strongly believe there is such thing as too much beautiful weather. I know, this is a pretty minor complaint. I could go on about being in a drought and worrying about having enough water, or worrying that with the extra dry conditions the state is set up for a disastrous fire season. But, my pet-peave right now really is the sunny 75 degree days. I want a cold wet foggy day! Just one or two or maybe a week is enough. I know I can't be the only one who is tired of the pleasantness. I know I can't be the only one who gets irritated with the lack of change. Maybe that is really what this is about for me. I need change on occassion and 130 days of practically the same weather is like watching the same Clifford episode with my daughter all week. It just doesn't happen, the TV can be turned off, unlike the sunshine.

Life's tough.
Talked to my husband last night, he's loving the weather. Hold off on your rain dance til the Canadians come home.
I can hope and wish all I want but each newscast deminishes our chances for significant rain. I expect your husband will continue to have wonderful weather. :-D
