Finally, a break in the weather
I've been despondent since I got back from L.A., partly because of the rotten weather we've been having. Got back just in time for a spring Nor'easter that managed to keep temperatures in the 50's all week long, along with driving winds and rain. It's a shock to the system after a few days of Southern California's balmy 90 degree clime.
Today, however, the rotten weather has finally broken -- and it's the first decent weekend we've had in a month and a half. Today it's sunny and warm. We've got every window in the house open to let in some fresh air (something that thrills the cat to no end).
That doesn't put a stop to the usual onslaught of domestic responsibilities, of course -- the constant wet weather means that I've got a tangled mess of weeds and grass that has to be cut. And to add insult to injury, my lawnmower's handle is broken. Rather than spend the time this weekend to fix it, I've arranged to borrow my mother's electric mower, which will do the trick for now.
