Where is the sun????

I am so sick and tired of all the precipitation. When will it end? I am reminded of an old joke, it goes something like this.

Nora: Wow, it is raining cats and dogs.

Emma: I know I just stepped into a poodle.

All kidding aside, I have empathy and sympathy for the many people who have flooded homes. I have to be careful not to do laundry, and to remind my family to take quick showers, but I thankfully have none of the real worries of so many that have water rushing into their homes.

An upbeat song may be from The Beatles, Here Comes the Sun...some times positive thinking is all we can do!

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,

and I say its alright

Little darling, it's been a long cold winter

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun here it comes...

Sun, sun, sun here it comes...

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Sun, sun sun, here it comes...

Sun, sun, sun here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting

Little darling, it feels like years since its been clear

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,

and I say it's all right

It's all right.
