We have had four or five straight days with sunshine and highs up into the low 70s F. But last night the rains returned, and the pavement is still wet.
It's not particularly cold (I would guess it's about 60 F out), and I NEVER complain about rain in Northern California.
I have the day off (until music practice this evening) and hope to sneak in a cycle in the early afternoon. How is the weather where you are? Is Spring (or Fall for those "down under") at hand? It IS here.
And today is the "official" first day of Spring.

I spent the first day of spring working on fall chores that never were completed because of bad weather .

@TheHorse I've had a really bad year so far for vacuums (and it's only March). First, I finally killed the geriatric Kirby that my husband bought me a couple of years ago (I'm surprised he didn't accuse me of sabotage since I've been complaining about the heavy monster ever since we moved to a house on three levels). Less than two weeks later my husband's shop vac gave up the ghost while I was using it.
I'm a very destructive person.

I read your post earlier, but couldn't reply at the time. I was going to say it had been pretty warm the past few days, but it had been on and off gray this morning - with a bit of showers in the wee hours. But in the past half hour we got some nice rain - even some thunder! Hope we get some more too and I'm good with it .

@wolfgirl569 Your plants will be happy. It's about time for me to get my sunflower and corn seeds ready.

@TheHorse That's true. Once the rain stops, all that foliage dries out and becomes tinder. I moved from northern California to North Carolina. Here, we don't have to worry about running out of water or fires. It still rains every week in the summer. Of course, rain and hot weather means high humidity. That's something I need to get used to.

I saw a lot of posts, even in FB about the first day of spring. We do not have it, we grow plants all year round.
