Rain, rain go away!

I hate to complain, but I hope we have at least a couple of days of sunshine down here in "sunny" South Florida. For the past week, it has rained every day. It did let up today but not until after it was time to take my students out to recess. So once again, they did not get to go outside to run some of their energy off. After working hard all morning, my students need a break in the fresh air. But I feel like I should not be wishing for sunshine when Florida still needs lots of rain to fill up Lake Okeechobee. You see, we went through a drought in the spring and part of the summer and the lake has not yet been replenished. If it doesn't now, during the so-called rainy season (which is almost over), we are going to have a really bad year next year. We will already be starting in the negative. So, okay, rain, rain don't go away!
