For some reason, Al Roker seems to be getting more attention this year. Yeah, his glasses are weird colors and he is extremely short compared to his co-workers, but that doesn’t seem to be it. It’s because he is a meteorologist on the Today show and well, the weather has been a little wackadoodle this year. Snow in Seattle has cause them to be in school until almost July. Tornadoes and flooding has decimated the midwest. And worse than all of that rain has caused our son’s baseball season to be moved out like three weeks. Last night the wind blew over one of our pillows on the front porch. What is going on here? I’m thinking the weather needs to chill out. Well, not chill but you know, just warm up a little. Instead of worrying about the weather, how about just view some of these Bitter Friday Giftures…

Sometimes the weather is…

…just making us dog tired.

In many offices…

…its quite scorching.

Other times…

…it feels like someone set the thermometer a little low.

Other times…

…I wonder if it is kite weather yet.

Summer is a time for…

…glamping.

While others are camping…

…in a lot less glamorous way.

Some people have to deal with the light rains…

…so they have enough room for their kiddie pools.

Who doesn’t enjoy…

…an umbrella storm on the nice sandy beach?

Who doesn’t enjoy…

…a nice relaxing canoe trip down the river?

After a lovely summer rain…

…who doesn’t enjoy jumping in the puddles?

Who doesn’t love a road trip…

…where the road is the one doing the driving?

Sometimes the weather…

…is lightening the way.

As you know, every summer is different and the only thing you can count on is that the weather will be changing. Enjoy your bitter summer.

ARRRRGGGHHHHHHHH
