Summer is Just Around the Corner

Is there anywhere in this country where the sun and clouds reign equally?  Nothing is more depressing to me than to wake up to yet another sunny day.  Perhaps it is because I realize in about two months the temperatures here will be climbing back up into the 80's which only heralds in the over 100 degree days soon thereafter.  With the high temperatures and unending sunshine comes the days of constant noise from the air conditioner running non-stop, continuous fight against the onslaught of scorpions trying to take over our home, and finally the disgusting overwhelming heat that keeps us confined to the house full noise and scorpions.

Granted weather in Arizona for five months out of the year is quite pleasant if you like continuous sunshine and temps in the 60's to 70's, but the other seven months are quite unbearable if you like to be outside.  My friend who lives in New York complained she and her family (including the dog) were becoming tired of being inside since winter began.  She said even the dog won't go out in the cold.  I say wait until your dog gets here -- she will be stuck inside, again, only this time she really can't go out because her paws will get burnt or she could die of heat stroke from trying to walk from the park to the house.

I just long for walks in the cold, clouds and rainy days.  I wouldn't mind the sunny days so much if there just weren't so may of them and they weren't harbingers of what is to come.
