Rain, Rain Go Away...

It has been raining, more off than on, all week long; and I am at the point where I just.want.it.to.stop! My backyard has fairly decent drainage; however, due to all the never-ending rain, the right back corner has become a mud pit. I'm talking, it's the kind of mud pit that wrestlers could thrash around in or that you would envision from Woodstock. Okay, it's not THAT big but it IS that muddy! So, today, what did two of my dogs, Bella and Coco, have to do? You see where this is going, don't you? Yes, they had to go an pretty much wallow in the mud. Bella, who is a white maltese, was almost completely black; Coco wasn't much better. I had to carry each dog in individually to the sink and hose them off before I was able to get them clean enough to bathe them. Then for the remainder of the day, my son and I had to stand guard in front of the mud pit every time we let the dogs back outside because that was, naturally, the first place Bella and Coco wanted to run.

My desire for sun has also apparently manifested itself in my Scraplifting 101 Challenge on SB.com. Three of the four layouts I chose had the sun in them, and the fourth used lots or orange/yellow papers.

I can deal with all the humidity - I'm completely used to that by now. But I would really, really appreciate it if someone would turn off the water that keeps pouring out of the sky and turn the sun back ON!
