Rain

It's raining out right now. The forecast for tonight: heavy rain. For tomorrow: heavy rain. For Sunday: 60% chance of rain. For Monday: 30% chance of rain. No sun until Tuesday. So it will be another weekend stuck inside, just when the sight of crocuses has me in a mood to roam and dig.

Look at the size of this weather system: a cyclonic storm up over Minneapolis is drawing water from a vast depression now crossing Florida by stretching back to the Pacific Ocean.
