Sort of a white-hot, orangey thing - the rays of which feel good on the skin? MY GOD! The sun! Its back! According to the hippy-dippy weather guy, we’ve had 8 consecutive rained out Saturdays here in VA. Time to shuck off the clothes and get naked in the sun (but only until later today, when they’re calling for rain yet again). ---

Amen, brother! We had some serious sunshine yesterday for a bit, but then it got cold and rainy again. Today it’s just partly cloudy. I can’t wait for the sunshine. Of course, it’s supposed to rain all weekend and be clear on Monday. ---

We’ve had several nice Mondays (though not Memorial Day, of course). I think I’m going to get in a little gardening tonight before the rains return – at least the length of the gray and drizzly day is nice and long at this time f the year.
