Another gray, rainy day here in Pittsburgh with a week of similarly chilly, damp weather to come, and while it may be good for our newly planted garden, such a wet, cold spring weighs heavy on the soul that longs for the warm touch of sunlight. (And of course, I worry about the Allegheny and the Monongahela joining the Ohio to swell the Mississippi River still further…)
Still, the azalea bush is finally blooming in front of the house. That burst of color brings a bit of relief to the dull, gray days.
What cheers you up in the midst of chill doldrums?
