You would think so, but it gets to you after a while. It's been a year since we reached 90 degrees and when nearly every day of the year is gray, cloudy, cool and /or wet it wears you down and you get mighty sick of it.

Finally, summer comes, which is very short to begin with and still nothing. Still doesn't feel like summer. No relief from the dreary gray. Very little anyway. This is the second "non-summer" in a row. It's getting old. Mostly sunny and 70 degrees is all one can wish for lately, or sometimes we have to settle for just "not raining".

Poor garter snakes around here just spent Oct-April inactive and underground. Less than half the year is even warm enough to be active at all, and we're supposed to be in the middle of that active part of the year, and what do we get? Mostly rainy days in the low 60's.
