Gloomy Eastern Iowa Weather NOT HELPING

With everything going on in the world today, it would be nice to find a bit of solace and comfort in the changing of the seasons.

Here we are in the middle of a pandemic, uncertain times and something that no one on the planet has ever been through before.

It's also the start of Spring. Would it be too much to hope for some sunshine and mild temperatures?

Instead we get cloudy mornings and gloomy days along with rain and thunderstorms.

Damn.

But there IS a silver lining. When faced with crappy weather we tend to stay indoors and only venture out if necessary. You see where I'm going with this.

Despite the fact that the weather kinda sucks, it's actually the BEST possible time for showers. Farmers need the rain, and we need to practice social distancing. That means avoiding crowds and keeping to ourselves. Experts say its the best way to beat the coronavirus Covid-19.

So lets break out the indoor chores list and get busy cleaning out cabinets and closets, scrubbing floors and doing laundry.

And when we've done enough work, let's pick up a book or zone out on the couch in front of the TV.

Actually, it's the perfect kind of weather for what I need to get done.
