a boring post about weather in which i prove that 25 is an old age at which people talk about things like the weather too much

it is raining and i am glad. yesterday we went for a walk at frick park and the little streams along the paths were almost completely dried up. the grass has burnt out to brown and plants are dying. we need rain. plus rain just makes me happy. jana recently wrote me an email listing reasons why it was time to move away from california and one of them was the weather always being the same. maybe some people never get bored with perfect weather, but i think i am in the same boat as jana. i even like the change to winter, i just think it lasts a few months too long in pittsburgh, especially when it extends itself into march and april and we don't see the sun for weeks. i am thankful that we experience all forms of weather here and that because of this we experience all four seasons distinctly. i took that for granted until i lived in california and realized there was no fall with red and orange and yellow leaves and that winter just meant some rain. so even though in about six months i will be terribley depressed by the lack of sunshine and $300 heating bills, i will say now that do love living here.
