Lol, well I live in a small-ish city, so certainly some lacklustre fireworks display down at the waterfront (if it isn't pissing rain).
BBQ, pool, and drinks at our place in the day/evening. At least it's hot and humid as balls, I appreciate that when it's rainy. We have a retractable awning on our deck and the pool is heated too, so we'll still be able to enjoy being outside, and even swimming!
The rain has certainly been welcome to our lawn and gardens. Everything is so lush and thriving this year. All our ferns and the grass burnt to a crisp last summer. Looked like shit. |
Yeah, by this time last year we were in full blown drought. But not this year! I could actually stand to mow every 5 days...but when you're mowing a 2 acre beast, that's just not realistic most weeks. So, I try to do so every 7. I doubt it happens this weekend, though, as we're stuck in a pattern of Gulf moisture coming up out of the south, causing heavy pop-up showers.
Sounds like you have some lovely first-world problems there, what with your fancy heated pools and retractable awnings. Maybe us Amuricans aren't the only ones "tired of winning".
