And here I am in sunny Aberdeen (57 degrees N), not a cloud in the sky. 🙂 ---

Meanwhile, somewhere far away (NE Florida), we’re in the middle of a prolonged drought, a massive wildfire 40 miles away often wafting a huge cloud of smoke our way, making the setting sun a deep blood red. Rain is apparently arriving this weekend… ---

Seconded on the sun. Middle-aged woman yells at sky. My purple and blue-and-yellow pansies are drowning and look sad. Also, it’s 49F on May 5. Weird. > [@WOOKINPANUB](#): > > Seriously, I know this will garner little sympathy but I actually wish the sun would hide behind a fuckin’ cloud every once in awhile. Believe it or not, it does get annoying having Mr. Sunny all up in your face Every. Single. Day. Actually, I hear you. You know about seasonal affective depression? I used to get it when summer in Florida rolled around. I think my hair was damp for six solid months. Yeeech. ---

The violets that happily infest my lawn have loved this extended wet weather, but their flowers met their doom yesterday. I’ve encouraged them for 35 years, and they have come so very far, but there’s a point at which the village complains, like when grass is too tall. As if it weren’t a mere backdrop for the violets and dandelions. Philistines. ---

I like to add clover and daisies to my lawn. I’ll have to check into the violets. ---

Though I’m complaining about first world problems, about ten km away in Pierrefonds (a suburb in Montreal) there is serious flooding, as well as other areas in eastern Canada. ---

Big time flooding here in the Ottawa area. I’m not affected, but have friends who are. It’s been raining forever. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk ---

There’s sun here today. But it’s not supposed to get out of the 50s and light frost is expected overnight. So I get to haul all the potted fig trees back into the garage. And then back out again in a couple of days. I hear tell that in the olden days, May in Ohio featured temps in the 70s. ---

We got to 85 yesterday in northern Colorado, 80 today. We may get a little rain in the next few days. I hope so, because we’ve had a fairly dry spring and the fire danger is high in some places. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-the-fuck-is-the-sun/778233.md?page=4)
