Sun! Sun! Sun!

It has been a lousy spring here in Portland -- lots of rain, and cold, and changeable weather that makes no sense. I never know what to wear anymore and all the rain has made me grumpy.

But yesterday it was sunny, today more so, and tomorrow it promises to get to 70 during the day. I plan to meet my friend Julie, from chorus, at our house and we'll head to the zoo with Rachel. If it's too crowded and we can't find parking, we may end up at a park somewhere. Just as long as it's outside.

Rachel likes sun but not when it's in her eyes, as is usually the case when I'm driving her somewhere. Yesterday on the way home from work she said, "Go AWAY, sun!"

"Don't tell the sun to go away!" I said, horrified. "We like sun!"

Pause.

"How about, I like sun but not in my eyes?" Rachel suggested.

I was speechless for a second. Then: "That's an excellent thing to say, Rachel!" I said.
