April in June

Yesterday, for the first time in maybe a month or more, it rained -- a sweet, gentle, soaking rain that was desperately needed around here. Usually, I hate the rain (at least being stuck out in it), but yesterday, I really enjoyed the feeling of it, and each time I had to walk from the car to a store, I did it slowly and leisurely.
On the flip side, along with the rain, we've got temps back down into the fifties (though I think today the high was supposed to be sixty -- yippee!). It's sort of odd walking around in a jack on June 7th and still feeling cold, and looking around at all the other people bundled up and shivering. Last night, I saw a pair of bikers wearing insulated jackets and winter hats and still looking quite cold and miserable.
I wouldn't mind the cool weather so much (in fact, I kind of enjoyed it today at the zoo, where the family went with
snurri -- it felt a little like camping, for some reason), except that here in Minnesota, summers are so damn short that whenever any of these cold days encroach on it, you feel like you're getting cheated.
