Where I live there are two seasons. In most locations in the U.S. there are four distinct seasons: Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring. They are easily distinguished by natives to the area by the change in flora (plants), fauna (animals), the decorations in the stores, the clothes people wear, and most of all by the weather. But alas, where I live there are simply two indistinct seasons (okay, if you walk into a store than you can easily tell what season the rest of the world thinks it is) these seasons are: The Rainy Season and The Rainier Season. In honor of it being The Rainier Season, I figured I'd put together a list of ways you know it's wet. As you've probably noticed I like lists, this indicates my incredible, natural amount of organization, however since I figure you might be getting bored with numbered lists I decided I'd use an eclectic variety of symbols instead (yeah, yeah, yeah I admit it's just that lists are easier and faster to write, not that I'm that organized). So you know it's wet when:
~You get back from a bike ride and weigh eight pounds more than when you left, because of all the water in your clothes.
%You'd rather do skool than check the mail box.
#Your chickens actually go in their coop.
*Your mom/wife actually tries to convince you to wear a coat.
!Your invincible quad get's stuck in the mud.
$You get shocked by the electric fence when the hay you are holding touches it.
+You actually wish you lived in California.
P.S. Feel free to add your own in the comment box.
When the ground is so saturated that there's actually water bubbling out of the ground like a spring.
ReplyDeleteRebuttal: You should wish you lived in Texas; it's drier. :-P
ReplyDeleteHowever, you know it's wet when the creek actually begins killing small animals, instead of just providing shelter for them.
