I had plans for today, plans that didn’t include rain. My first thought was ugh! So much for doing that. But then I decided to change my attitude.
It’s spring. it’s not freezing outside, it’s 55F or 13C where I live. It could be snowing. After all it is May, and May is an unpredictable month. I recall stating my summer job May 1, 1971, and having a snowfall. It does happen. If not snow, I could be living along the infamous American Tornado alley where this came up in my weather feed this morning:
It’s the heart of spring tornado season south of the border and Monday’s weather could prove dangerous for millions in the centre of the country.
The U.S. Storm Prediction Center (SPC) calls for widespread severe thunderstorms across the Plains and Midwestern states through the afternoon and nighttime hours on Monday.
For the sake of everyone living there, I hope this is one time that the meteorolagist is wrong!
So, attitude changed from ugh! to oh, well. I can do a yard and plant study tomorrow. The rain will help the tiny perrenials get stronger, provide the moisture the grass needs, and make it easier to do the weeding when the ground is softer. It’s too early to plant my annuals, so I’ll spend the day writing today. Tomorrow, I’ll be attending a track meet where three of my four grandchildren who live in my city will be competing. The fifth one is back at university in Norway after two weeks Vacation in Thailand.
While looking for a Monday saong I didn’t use last month, I found this. Enjoy your day.
Living the Dream 
it has been raining here for days and I’m getting fed up but your post has made me think about how much writing I got done today. I also thought about our Monday aqua fit lesson where the raindrops were big and heavy but we were wearing hats and the water was warm (heated to 26 degrees C). The showers were hot and the coffee and conversation afterwards was even better so it wasn’t a bad day, really.

Great to here. The clouds cleared a little while ago and the sun is out. According to the weatherman, it’ll be 18 today! As I sit here working–just taking a break now–I can hear the birds. We have a mother robin nesting on a leade in our carport. My rainy day is looking pretty good now.

It’s been raining here for days too and when I walk out into my backyard my feet sink into the mud. However, I am feeling satisfied having made 8 jars of marmalade, cleaned and rearranged the pantry, and took time out to finish reading a book. Sometimes it really is the little things.
