Ahhhhhhh, if only I could control the weather.... Last winter's snow would've been all fluffy western-style powder and NH would've gotten the 9-foot snowstorm instead of California's mountains.... If I could control the weather, you'd know it, every year between Thanksgiving and Easter, you'd know it!
This spring I gave up on hoping for a long stretch of good yard-work weather and started telling myself, "I spent all this money on a super-duper waterproof Gore-Tex jacket for *what* reason? I might as well get my money's worth from this Gore-Tex." Raking in a light rain, I discovered, has benefits like "no dust" and if you have a fire permit, you can burn 'round the clock as long as it's raining... otherwise you have to wait until after 5 p.m.
