Me too!  It's gorgeously sunny today (not especially warm, but not cold)!  I want more of this for the weekend.

Here, too, though it just started raining. Still, it was a lovely sunny morning and most of the afternoon and it motivated me to do lots of cleaning and laundry and I really enjoyed my drive to the grocery store. What a difference the sun makes in my level of motivation!  :)

Rain has been predicted for this weekend for the past few days, but it was lovely today, and only drizzled a bit yesterday morning.  The irony is that DH just bought some rainwater collectors for the garden, and wants to test them out!

Yesterday (Memorial Day) was exceptionally hazy and overcast. I kept thinking my eyesight was going blurry. Turns out it was due to fires in southern Quebec province! Apparently the smoke was evident even as far down as Cape Cold and Nantucket. People were complaining that their cook-outs were spoiled  ::)

It was gorgeous here yesterday, but now back to the drizzle.  ::)

Was gorgeous here yesterday - back to rain today!

However, on the bright side, things (the forecast) are looking up for later this week & into the weekend!  8)

Hehe! Thanks for the positive outlook on the weather this weekend. I'm hoping to use the new grill again!  ;D

Not a cloud in sight for most of the day yesterday. Woke up this morning and everything was grey and miserable and wet!  However, whilst its mostly cloudy now, its decently warm and the sun is peeping out, making it a bit nicer.

What we Californians think of as summer is hardly summer at all here.  It is hard when you've been used to it all the time and after these dreadful winters here it's hard to take it when the weather is so crappy during the warmer months. I just deal with it by not expecting the weather to ever be good and waiting for the time I will move back home.

The blessing is at least it won't be freezing cold until around November.
