Remember when I gloated about the sun? I frolicked, collecting all the Vitamin Dees I could while it snowed in ABQ?

Remember?

Well I’ve certainly gotten my comeuppance, haven’t I?

What a difference a few weeks make. When we had that early sun, I knew that soon the bill would come due. And it has. In a big way.

The skiers are happy, the snow has dumped on Tahoe. The people who track our water supplies are happy, lots of rain plus expected runoff means we avoid a drought for another year.

Me, I’m not as happy. Grey skies make me blue. So I sit inside, nose pressed against the window, and daydream about Spring.

Yeah, not enjoying this California/Oregon style rain today myself.

You can still make fun of us – total wind/sandstorm here today, the sort where the wind pushes your car over to the next lane and you can hear the bits of grit peppering your windshield. There is dirt in my ears, grr.
