Spring?

[pancakepatterns]

Okay so, despite the fact that the weather has not varied from 40s and drizzly for the last month, spring is officially here. Crocuses are just about done. Daffodils are up. Rose bushes down the street are starting to bloom. The grass is starting to look like it needs to be mowed, though when it will be dry enough to do so, who knows. Weirdnesses

Yeah...that's because in Pittsburgh, when it decides to rain, it POURS. Here it just drizzles for about 9 months. Good times.

Someone actually looked out the window yesterday, saw that it had started to drizzle once again and that a branch was blowing and declared that it was "stormy." :-P I kind of stared at her for a while. :-)

Sounds like Berkeley. Especially the equivalence between "drizzle" and "storm".
