Rain, rain go away ...

I'm seriously tired on all the rain we've had in April. It feels like it's rained every. single. day. I know it's good for the gardens and heaven knows we need lots of rain top up our reservoirs so we can get the Thames Water hosepipe ban lifted.


But, I'm tired of looking up at grey skies. I'm tired of not being able to get out into my garden to cut the grass and weed the flower beds. I'm tired of getting wet whenever I do venture outside. I'm tired of not being able to plan outdoor activities.


On top of all that, the windows in my conservatory are leaking, so I'm having to mop up puddles of water on a daily basis. Heavy rainfall has resulted in water getting in between the panels of my car door, so whenever I accelerate away or break at a junction, it sounds like I've got a bucket full of water sloshing around in my car. And to top things off, I woke up this morning to find my BBQ and garden chairs had been blown over during the night and were strewn over my water logged, mud ridden, so-called lawn.


Here's hoping the April "showers" end on Monday and that spring makes a welcome appearance on Tuesday.

For a while we had a lot of rain here too, and wind! But now we have "May Gray" early and everyday seems gray, LOL.

Oh Sue, I do hope you are about to switch to the May flowers. We're having an odd year in Ohio, but not so overly wet as last. Then we really had a sodden yard too. I'm just trying to send slightly drier thoughts to you (wish it could be dry wit!)

I've come to check to see if you have tried any more new recipes, LOL. No pressure, just curious. :)
