Give me SUN

It has been too long since we have seen the sun. I know other parts of the country are having a heat wave and record highs, while we in the greater Seattle regions are just waiting with baited breath for a hot day. We haven't had a sunny truly sunny day since last July. That's 2010 folks. We are longing for sun to dry out our houses and clean up our mood. I want to feel the heat so to speak. Instead day after day it is dreary, rainy, yuckie, and just right not the way I want it to be this time of year. There are no cold Colas in my frig waiting to burst open and quench my thirst. There are no popcicles waiting in the freezer to join me for sitting on the the edge of the porch. There is no watermelon waiting to satisfy that sweaty body who just played volleyball in the yard. It is hot chocolate and warm rice pudding still filling my tummy after all these months. I hope to someday put away my hooded sweatshirts and bring out lovely filmy gauze tops and capris. Until it comes once again I will just take yet another Vitamin D tab and look into the sky and hope the color is not dark gray.
