Mother nature has interpreted "spring break" to be a week without
sunshine - a break for the sun.
Ever since we moved here, I notice that
the rain in Oregon is quite different from the rain in Salt Lake City.
Salt Lake rain is soaking wet. You're drenched the second it hits you. Oregon rain is moist - like having a
humidifier running outdoors. Often I
don't even know it is raining by touch or by sight. I can hear the rain dropping into pipes or
puddles.
My sister posted pictures of the snow
that Mother Nature sent them starting their spring. Right below her pics, a commenter had left another photo of her tree in blossom against green grass which she had taken the day before.
I don't think the
schools in Salt Lake go on Spring Break until next week. Jenna's birthday is coming up, and the
schools were always out whenever she had her birthday.
We could never plan for what kind of
weather we'd be having on her birthday.
Her friend's birthday falls six days after Jenna. Lindsey's parties could be planned according
to the wither on Jenna's birthday.
Seriously. Whatever the weather
on Jenna's birthday, Lindsey's was
exactly the opposite. Jenna's birthdays
were usually cold and dreary. Lindsey's
mom would invite half the neighborhood over for an outdoor barbeque. Sometimes it was actually quite hot outside.
There were at least two birthday
parties we had planned for Jenna indoors that came with great outdoor
weather - although one had been postponed to almost the end of April. On those years, Lindsey's
birthday party was held indoors due to the pouring rains. As we will be holding Jenna's birthday in
another state this year, and neither she nor Lindsey will be attending the
other's party, I wonder if Lindsey's mom will remember to take the weather into
account. I'll have to send a reminder.
