This has been pretty much our weather forecast(below, and from today's Yahoo/Weather Channel site) for the last four weeks, and here we go again! Another week of gloom. It doesn't even feel or look like summer here. It feels like we have entered some alternate universe , where every morning starts off grey and gloomy and pretty much stays that way.
Yesterday was a shocker, though. It began and stayed mostly dry and sunny and pleasant--like a normal June day. Of course, this would have to be the one Saturday I worked. I got home then, after 5:00(it was busy at the shop, so at least it went by fast and I didn't even have a chance to look out the window and feel bad by seeing the sunshine), sat outside in the late afternoon sun with a glass of iced tea, and then about 20 minutes later, a cold fog rolled in and it was like that for the rest of the day. And here it is, my one weekend day off, and whaddaya know? It is completely cloudy yet again. So DEpressing.

The thing that makes this worse is that ever since we got this new computer(don't know if I blogged about this much, but our old home PC died last weekend, and J promptly went and found one super cheap-used-on Craig's List the next day), I can't set the weather on my Yahoo homepage to my own location.
Instead it insists on mocking me by always showing me the always bright and sunny weather news from Sunnyvale, California(Yahoo's headquarters?), and I haven't been able to change it to my town as a default location for some odd reason.
We have plans for a little drive up to Trader Joe's in the afternoon, at least. We need to restock our fridge and cabinets, and at least food shopping there is fun and little different.

Hi Tina, so sorry to hear about your weather.:(((( Ironically I just posted about the gorgeous, hot and sunny weather we are having here. I will try to send some heat and sunshine your way.
Please enjoy your afternoon despite the rain, at times it can be cosy.
Thank you for the email as well.;))
xoxo

We have a similar forecast here, Tina. Right now it is suiting me, as I'm gradually easing into summer. But we're going to the White Mountains next week, and I need the weather (and our backs) to cooperate...
I love that window photo, if that's any consolation. Also, and afternoon at TJs sounds like an excellent plan!
:-) Hang in there.
I work in that 'lovely' town Sunnyvale. I live about 20 miles away and this morning at 9.45 it was 92 degrees. Too hot! I guess the grass is always greener
~Zuzana,
I DID end upo having a perfectly splendid Sunday with even a little warm sunshine that came out from time to time, so I am happy with that.
~Erin,
I want the weather to get better, too, for your White Mountains trip. Sorry to hear there are some aching back issues, too. Mr. F is going through a bit of that lately, too.
~Clare,
That is hilarious that you work in this legendary "Sunnyvale" and I just HAD to show your comment to my husband!! Small world, and I am glad we are connected on Blogger.
And you are so right--it IS always a case of the grass seems always greener. That does sound very hot to me and maybe what we have got here isn't that bad after all.
