06/09/2003 Entry: "gray again"

I held some hope for a bit of photoplay this past weekend but the weather gods had other plans. Saturday was literally a washout, with more rain than I've seen fall in quite sometime. That's saying something given the amount of precipitation we've had here in the past month or so. Most of the newly sprouted seedlings in the garden were under water, the saturated soil unable to absorb another drop.

Sunday's forecast afternoon sun never appeared, with low gray clouds all day long. At least the rain tapered off a bit, with only a few spattering showers. My brother's sister-in-law has been quite ill for some months now and we'd planned to take my neices out for the afternoon to give the family a break. There weren't many options for a wet day other than the mall and a movie, so after an hour or so of having arms pulled off by a lunging six-year-old whenever we passed a toy store, it was off to Finding Nemo. The artwork and animation were quite well done, with a few scenes being quite beautiful. If you haven't been dragged to see it yet, do yourself a favor and stay for the credits.

The sun's poking out a bit, now that it's Monday and back to work. The forecast for next weekend doesn't look promising but you never know. One day of warm sunny weekend would be a treat. It's early enough in the week that I'll keep hoping.
