Cheryl, I know about living with the illness of a spouse. It just kills my soul a bit every day. DH never gets really truly well.
We don't usually get large amounts of rain, but the relatively frequent showers or drizzle are doing some good, things have greened up and since there's a doe coming to the wildlife feeding area, I'm especially glad for her. And I promised myself I'll never complain again about precipitation, so yesterday when in town I didn't, even though I kept getting wet.
