Soggy Summer

This has been the weirdest weather year I can remember. First there was the snowstorms in April, and now this month we have had nothing but rain. Isn't it supposed to be April showers, not June showers?

Someone besides me is confused... I think it's Mother Nature.

Nearly Every day this month we have had clouds and thunderstorms off and on all day. Last time I checked Utah doesn't have a monsoon season, does it?

It has been so soggy that we haven't been able to play outside very much. We have also spotted some visitors to our lawn that we have never really seen around here before:


I don't know about your, but I would rather have more sun and less mushrooms!

  1. I have a mushroom farm in the backyard too! Actually, Utah does have a monsoon season, but it's not until mid-August.

    I've been TRYING not to complain about the cool weather and the rain, because I know the 100's are right around the corner!

  2. You definitely know you've had too much rain when there are mushrooms in your yard! We've had weird weather in the deep south too...it took forever to get warm (which I complained about) and now it incredibly hot (which I'm complaining about!) lol

  3. I haven't even dared look for mushrooms in our yard... I'm sure they are EVERYWHERE!

    That said, is it weird that I think your picture of the toad stools is super cute??

  4. My apologies. Apparently all our pacific northwest rain was inadvertantly diverted to Idaho and Utah. We've had the one of our driest springs on record. The crazy thing is - I kindof miss the rain. So go ahead and send it back - my garden is thirsty.

  6. What a pretty shot. We thankfully haven't had any mushrooms. I think its more due to my husband mowing all the darn time.

  7. I'm beginning to think it's my fault. This is the type of weather I was living with while in Canada. It just followed me down, to let me know what I was leaving behind. :p

    However, it's much more enjoyable here. With a promise of a real hot summer. I don't mind the rain at all.

  10. My mom came from Utah last week to visit. She was excited to have some sunshine her in sunny San Diego. Of course, what happened instead was she brought rain with her from Utah. It was damp and cool the entire time she visited and she was actually happy to go home. She said our damp cold was way worse on her arthritis than Utah's rain!

    More sun, less mushrooms!

  12. Well, if it makes you feel any better the start of summer in San Diego is typically covered in a marine layer so thick that we sometimes go days with out seeing the sun.

    Love the little mushroom cluster. :)

  13. We are having the weirdest weather too. Bad storms this week with tons of wind and hail. Now it is almost 100. Very odd.

  14. I just visited Utah for the first time (besides a layover several years ago). The weather was beautiful when we were there and I just loved your state!

  15. Hopefully you will get some of our sun since we are finally getting our rain back. It has been really weird hearing about the PNW dry spell...
