Here it is, the middle of April, and we are still looking for the first occurrence of nice weather this spring. I have to admit that I am getting a little forlorn in dealing with all of the dampness, gloom and chill, but its nothing like some of the folks that I regularly come in contact with. Some of them are getting downright hostile! It has been nearly two years since I have been directly responsible for anything dealing with the weather, but there are some nasty people, and you know who you are, that are still blaming me for the general lousy state of the weather. These people have lived here far longer than I, and should by now realize that spring doesn't spring around these parts until the 4th of July, so I am putting them on notice to "just shut your pie hole! If you don't like the weather there are plenty of buses, trains, and airplanes heading out of town every day, and moving vans so that your belongings can make the trip as well.
There...I've had my conniption!
Today dawned wet...what else is new, but the rain ended early and our outdoor clean-up day at the church was well attended. We attacked the weeds in the landscape beds and won the battle, so things are looking pretty good out there. We wanted to spruce things up before Palm Sunday and Easter week, so the army was mobilized this morning and we went to war. Later this afternoon a few more showed up to do the indoor work, mainly dusting and washing windows, so all is now ready. The invitation is there...come on out and join us for worship over the next week. That would be tomorrow morning at 9:00, Thursday and Friday evenings at 7:00, and next Sunday morning at 7:00 and 10:00. We'll even feed you next Sunday!
Today turned out to be pretty decent. It was still cloudy, but the sun did make a couple of cameos, and the temperature almost made 60 this afternoon. Tomorrow will be sunnier, but cooler as we will only reach the low 50s. Our church softball team kicks off the season tomorrow at 2:00pm, and it looks like the game will go on as planned. I am supposed to play first base, but with my left knee blown up like balloon (that's another story) I don't know if I will be able to participate. Looking ahead to the week ahead...guess what? It is going to be cool cloudy and damp. Temperatures still won't be getting very far above 50 degrees, there will be mostly clouds in the sky rather than sun, and from time to time a little rain will fall...perhaps even snow.
There...stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
