Oh Summer, Wherefore Art Thou?

So, this winter thing is getting old. And no, that's not a typo. It is June 8th, and it's solidly still winter in England. Okay-- so, we did have a day where it was hot (80!) with sun... and one where it was hot (78!) without sun. And now we're solidly stuck in the 50s. In JUNE. I attempted to will it into summer by wearing shorts, but all I ended up doing is putting on knee socks and a sweater. I try to console myself by saying that I'd be complaining about the heat if I were somewhere, well, that had summer. And who am I kidding? Summer's my least favorite season. But don't you always want what you can't have? I do miss seasons, though. I always thought I'd be kissing them goodbye when I moved back to California and the land of perpetual sunshine. Instead I've moved to the land of perpetual rain. Good thing love can cure all ails, conquer all evils and all that fun stuff...

Oh my I can totally relate! I moved to Seattle in October of 2008 where it is gray and rainy for 9 months out of the year and I'm about ready to drive straight to Mexico. We haven't even hit 75 yet this year. We did have one or maybe 2 days of 70 temps but I still have flannel sheets on the bed and it's June 11th!!!! I've lived in a few other places in the US and there is NOTHING like this constant gray mist with chilling temps for 9 (or maybe even 10!) months out of the year. I've HAD ENOUGH!!! Hang in there. (endswith8741 sent me your blog because she knows how much I'm struggling with the weather!)
