OT anyone need rain???? Weather rant

Willing to share the wet stuff with just about anyone. We are working on our 25th straight day and going for a local record at 33 according to the weather forecasts on TV-- things are soggy and hills are deciding to join the valleys etc. So far personally we only have a wet floor in the back basement and not in my craft room. I suspect our Oregon and BC RCTY folk are experiencing the same. It would be less gloomy if it weren't also this time of year when the sun sets around

4:30 (4:39 yesterday). I have only poked my nose out the door to go to the grocery store and the post office this week - and have seen no need to get up very early. Now if we could manage to shoo these clouds a little further south like we did last year -- but then, of course, we would have another drought with problems for power generation and irrigation water. Maybe just some moderation would be good -- instead of a "rainy" season with almost no rain followed by one with nothing but rain.

I am getting some knitting in - done isn't the right word though. I ripped DH's vest last night as I overcompensated for making his last sweater too big and when I checked the almost done back last night it was too snug. I had started with the back which is plain stockinette so that I could make that sort of change before heading into the cabled front. Now I have only the ribbing for the back done and ready to switch to the bigger needles for the stockinette back. I love the tweed wool that I am using - which helps.

I am waiting for some neon green and neon yellow Dale Falk to make a sweater for DGD#2 - that should brighten up my knitting area anyway. She is eleven and wanted something in "bright lime green" -- this should meet that test. I like working with Dale yarn - so that should go pretty fast even though it uses relatively small needles.

Awww, no thank you! I won't gloat, however if you *happen* to read one of my other postings a few minutes ago you can see the weather we're having today. Just don't curse me out... I didn't make the weather, I'm just enjoying it! In fact *tiny gloat here* the heat from the sun coming through the window beside the computer is actually feeling quite hot through my sweater. ;o)

Are you considering building an Ark yet? I remember one entire November here when it rained every single day and I semi-joked with a carpenter I know that he should maybe consider starting on an Ark and he agreed.

- Even though it's very nice here today, I would take snow over all that rain and gloom. Of course *I* don't have to shovel it anymore. LOL

We have had pleanty of rain, but I would take a bit frost from anyone with extra. Our spring bulbs are blooming and the fruit tree buds are swelling 6 weeks early. I just know they are going to bloom, and then we will get that cold storm that we always get in early Feb. and every little green thing will freeze -- dead.

We have no frost to offer where I am - snow in the mountains but pretty warm down here at sea level.

Noreen you can have our rain as well, same weather system.....wind and rain and more wind and more rain. I can see the trees move in the wind 3 meters one way and three meters the other way. Amazing to watch. The wind is making loud noises around howling around the house. Good time for a fire and a book. The next thing will be that we have power outages...Candles are at the ready. We cook on gas so that is not a problem

I am starting to direct the rain South East. stand by...and bring out your umbrella

Here in Connecticut, USA today we had the most wonderful weather for January. It was in the 50's with the sun shining so brightly ! I took Dusty to the park and only needed my unlined jean jacket, instead of the usual ski jacket with many layers, and Dusty was able to wear his birthday suit, no sweater - it was great !!! It has been pretty much like this all week. I would gladly share it with you all if I could.
