Pete took this picture in the park yesterday. It rained all today and we’re expecting tomorrow a big storm or rain event, as the hysterical weather schnooks now say. I’d taken a vacation day to get tomato seeds into starter trays, but that didn’t happen. Instead, to cheer myself up, I took down the weighty winter drapes; then laundered, fluffed and hung the light summer sheers. They’re fresh and clean, and almost enough to carry me through the basement flood stories I will certainly hear all day tomorrow.

Winter kicked our asses and spring is sleeping with our girlfriend. Fuck!
