Rain, rain, go away

Normally, I like rain. I really do! I love the soft sound of it, the smell of the air, the excitement of a thunderstorm.

But enough already!!! I think the trees are literally rotting in the ground behind our house; they are turning black and the trunks are splitting. Most of the mulch has washed out of the schoolyard. I hesitate to buy any local strawberries for fear they'll have no flavor at all.

So I'm ready for some sunshine, please!
