not everyone minds the rain

We've had sort of a late spring around here. I know that even saying that makes me sound a little silly; we have friends in New England and friends in Alaska and friends in plenty of places where they get, you know, actual weather. (Like snow. And inches of ice.)

Here we've had lots of rain and plenty of grey. While that might be mild for the rest of the country, it's practically severe for us. And we're more than ready for some sunshine and warmer weather.

Well, I'm ready. John David? Not so much. The downpour taking place during a recent preschool pickup pretty much made his week. He was positively gleeful.

Even outfitted in boots and raincoat, that child still got soaked. He rode home stripped down to his sodden diaper because I was afraid that his wet clothes would make him too cold. (I shouldn't have worried. That kid's impervious to just about everything.) And he smiled the whole time.
