Dear Sunshine, I want you.I need you. What can I say? I know you want your space, and I am trying hard not to pressure you, but really, can’t you do better than these rare visits that only leave me wanting more? Is it a cliché to say that without you, my days seem grey and cheerless? Here’s hoping that you will soon be back to stay. Devotedly yours, Me.

Hope the love note works! (I’ve heard the sun is quite fickle.)
It did work, Barb!
Pure sunshine today (even if a trifle chilly!), and I finally got to go out and work in the garden for the first time since last fall. I think I’ll need to keep these little notes going!
You know, I finally decided it’s not the rain I mind so much, but the darkness. The other day it was so overcast that it was dark by 3 in the afternoon.
But we’re on the upward climb,now.
