This is admittedly becoming a common refrain here, but it has been yet another water-logged weekend. We’re getting more precipitation than a rainforest. Alberta had to have been the inspiration for “Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again”.

The most recent weather forecast indicated we may not even see the sun again until Thursday. I’m not sure I’d recognize the sun if I saw it. I might report the sun to the police, if it turned up without some advance notice.

However, there is always an upside to relentless drizzling.

You can:

a) Use your yard for discreet late-nite showers. The lawn makes for a handy loofah…
b) Your kids can make a few extra bucks with a bucket of soap – who doesn’t want the convenience of a door-to-door car wash service?
c) Your prize rose bushes now tower well above telephone poles. The petals could be used as carry-on luggage bags.
d) Your neighbours used to think you were crazy when you added a ski package onto the back of Prius. Now they’re lining up to hit the jump at the end of the block…
e) You’ve always wanted to teach Sparky how to swim. Well, he was a quick study when the back yard became an Olympic diving pool…
f) Your indoor spa plans have been assisted by the backed-up drain in the basement. If the mould goes away, you just need to add some heat to the water, and voila!

Chow for now!!
