Never Content!
I sit here thinking "it is so blessed hot! I wish it were just a bit cooler." Inside temp is about 95, with the fans going. Outside is about 80 right now but the sun is in that certain spot where you can't get away from it. My eyes are running like I have constant tears. I stick to absolutely EVERYTHING. Supper was a bitch to make and then to eat it was like trying to suck down cough syrup. The pool is calling my name but I jsut don't have the energy to go out there. A shower might help. I dread the idea of climbing into bed tonight knowing that sleep will evade. Hubby will throw off at least 25 degrees more than the air is. It's just going to suck.
Then I sit here thinking, "Gee it's nice to have sun since all we've had is rain. And the winter was SO long!" All of the plants are getting rot from the moisture. Spring was really sucky and the winter was SOOO long! We never had that transition time from cold to warm to hot....it just jumped from cold to hot. AND THE WINTER WAS SOOOOOOOOO LONG!
So I ask you this...Why can us Mainers never be happy with what we get? It's not like we can control it! Why can't we just accept the cold, long winters and damp spings? And the heat in the summer isn't all that bad is it? The stickies only last a day or two and you can always go get an air conditioner if it gets too dreadful.
Although I hate Maine weather, I wouldn't want to move away from here...not YET anyway. I love the whiteness of the new fallen snow and I love the sight of all the birds migrating back north in the Spring. I love the summer with it's dog days...being just as lazy as I want to be. And Fall is my favorite time of year. So with all of this said I will stop all the bitching and go outside to cherish the time I have here. Hope you aren't finding the weather here too offensive! Like the old cliche' "If you don't like the weather in Maine...wait a minute!"
