It has been unusually rainy and cold for this time of year. M and I lament that it is somewhat like our memories of our home countries when we used to live there. I took this photo yesterday when we had a brief morning respite from the rain. You can see the orange umbrella waiting to be put up by the pool – a little spot of color that represents our hope for sunny βοΈ days to come. ππ½
On the bright side, I needed to focus on getting some work done that I have been procrastinating on for weeks, so the gloomy weather allowed me to do so without distraction. Plus, the deadline of ensuring my work got done before my mother arrives tomorrow was another motivating factor. π€ͺπ¬
Still, our ten day forecast looks rather grim… I am hoping π€π½ that there will be some decent weather for my mom as we do our road trip to France and see some of the Mediterranean coast. I know we will have a good time either way, but sunshine does help!
No doubt, though, that once the warmer temperatures do arrive I shall be posting about sweating too much or something like that. First world problems as they say! ππ
In any case, for the moment, I am waiting for more typical weather to return to us, but focusing on the positives! π

I heard your mom was making the trip, I’m sure you will show her a good time. While I’m sweating planting my little garden I will be t thinking of the two of you kicking up your heels having a grand old time. I will have my tomatos and fresh herbs to look forward to.
We had a lovely time. I am posting now about it. π Hope you got to enjoy some lovely gardening time.
