It’s March. It’s still raining. In buckets. There’ve been some limited reports of seeing sun breaks, but they are few, like leprechaun sightings. Gray is the current outside color. So besides buying bright spring color clothes I can’t wear due to the cold and wet, thought we might all like to be reminded of what the sun looks like.
There is also a request from my gardenia bush. I moved it into the garage to protect it from the cold for about a month, then finally put it back outside. It’s requesting to go back in the garage; it’s accusing me of waterboarding. Not me, Mother Nature!
So to give us all a perk up, here are a few favorite past photos which actually contain sun. Try to identify it!
Sun in Eastern Oregon above, outside of Madras. They are under a Winter Storm warning right now. Sigh.
And last but not least!
Sun on my favorite beach in Maui. I checked and they have sun right now. With showers. But it’s 81 degrees! Let’s go to Maui. If only in our minds.
Might be time to start looking for some green beer. St. Patrick’s Day isn’t far away! Happy almost Spring?
Yesterday the Blazers game got warmed out in Minneapolis. It was 63 degrees and the building couldn’t keep the basketball floor dry because the hockey ice below was melting. It snowed in Portland. The average temp for Minneapolis is 28. The average temp for Portland is 55. Go away, La Niña!
Love the alpaca, by the way.
Check out explore.org for the webcams in Hawaii! Makes me feel hopeful that we could get some sunshine again!
