My 'problems' with the rain here are really only at the whinging level...

I blame it on that La Nina weather condition. <br /><br />I often think I can make my life better this time of year by escaping to a sunny place for a for a few days. Wrong! It only seems worse when you get back.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740052390943893445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625454006116116876.post-90536068083042940552012-03-16T05:32:33.492+08:002012-03-16T05:32:33.492+08:00Thanks, Tatyana - I am quite grumpy for the moment...Thanks, Tatyana - I am quite grumpy for the moment, just can't take the rain for the moment. Even if the sun comes out occasionally, everything is so wet, damp, soaked that even Arizona sounds nice for me (even if I really would miss my snowdrops in that climate). Oh well, nothing to do but to bear this until the weather changes. All the best, Liisa.The Intercontinental Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419730672738553254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625454006116116876.post-34872760027951280312012-03-16T02:34:17.456+08:002012-03-16T02:34:17.456+08:00I am sorry that you feel this way.

But, I have hundreds of winter and spring photographs in my Photo-file showing blue sky and bright sun. March is a transitional month, but even now, there are dozens of plants which show their fresh green and red tops! It's certainly spring! I lived in Russia for many years and used to four distinctive seasons. Here, they are not so distinctive. But, it's better than, let's say, Arizona with its two seasons.<br />Anyway, I am also looking for some warmth and sun. All the best to you and your garden!Tatyana@MySecretGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230255354868127650noreply@blogger.com
