Nine months of rain

This September rain in Portland is romantic.

This October rain in Portland is crisp and very fall-like.

This November rain is getting chilly; the city seems so grey and Portland-like.

This December rain continues on without end, but I guess this is Christmas in Portland.

This rain throughout January belabors the point that it is still winter in Portland.

This long, dreary winter, with rain continuing on throughout February in Portland, has got to be coming to an end soon.

My God, it is March, and yet the rain continues in Portland … seemingly God feels an endless need to weep over our sins.

April … there should be sun. There are flowers sprouting here in Portland, but all they have to look forward to is more rain.

It is May here in Portland and … I’m going to kill myself.
