A PNW kind of day

It’s a typ­i­cal Pacif­ic North­west kind of day.
The sky is that over­cast grey that makes it dif­fi­cult to tell whether it’s 8AM, noon, or 3PM.
There’s a promise of spring, but not yet, just wait a lit­tle longer.
In the mean­time, have more rain.
Oh, and don’t get too excit­ed, in fact wor­ry, because those daf­fodils and cro­cus that are peek­ing up may get frozen if there’s a cold snap.
And every­thing that thinks it should be bloom­ing right now will be sor­ry.
But all those weeds? Oh yeah, they’ll be just fine. In fact, the cold will make them stronger.
And it won’t be cold enough to kill the slug eggs.
The babies are out there right now, march­ing to war on the daylily buds.
So in the mean­time, snug­gle up in a blan­ket with a good book, and a cup of hot tea.
Take a nap.
