What Is That Strange Yellow Ball In The Sky??

Sun again finally! It's not as though there haven't been days of sun during the past couple of weeks, but it's rained so much I was starting to wonder if I'd somehow, unconsciously and impossibly, moved to Seattle in my sleep one night.

It isn't exactly a crisp, clear day---it's a little fuzzy around the edges---but I'll take it. Especially since it's supposed to rain the rest of the week. Is this ever going to end? I don't live in Washington or Oregon for a reason. Despite the beauty of those places, it comes at too high a cost: I don't want to live underwater. Hopefully my town will remember it's a Californian and get back to the business of being sunny and warm and mild-weathered.
