Ottawa has been a dark and rainy and not-so-warm place lately. Considering it’s May 8, I expect more.
Yes, we were spoiled with ridiculously warm weather in March, and we all *knew* it couldn’t last, but still. I want some nice weather back. I don’t need 28 degrees, just a nice steady 19 or 20 degrees with sun and less wind would be lovely.
I appreciate the rain in April – look how my garden grows!
But now, I’m over it. I can remember last year at this time was much warmer. I know that because I was reading new books in the back yard after the kids went to bed in May.
This weekend, and yesterday was amazing. Warm, lovely sunshine that lifted spirits across the city. It was nice to get outside for walks, to the park, and read in the backyard. This is the weather I want. But now we’re back to rain. For how long? I’m not sure, but it’s been dark and dreary a lot lately. We need more sun!
The kids and I have been busy during the day, we’re crafting and learning and playing and having play dates. That’s not the issue. However, we are all missing the park. And extended time in our back yard. I swear, last week my son asked if it was time to pull the sprinkler out. Because last year at this time we had!
So, dear May, a little extra sun if you don’t mind?
What’s the weather been like in your neck of the woods? Ottawa friends, are you missing the sun too?
