pegkerrIt has been raining for several days.
We need the rain. The trees have been stressed from drought this summer, and it'll put the plants in good shape to weather the winter. The gloom is hard to bear, though. It has meant putting off my walk on the bridge several times.
The gloom inside is hard to bear, too. My Decrease Worldsuck reports have tapered off; I've been struggling more with Up Close and Personal Lifesuck. Yet, I'm doing my best.

I know they'll miss the Georgia climate, but I hope being near their grandchildren will help make up for it.
