No Sun Today

There's a saying  in north Idaho  folks make about the weather, "Wait ten minutes, and it'll change". Ten minutes may be an exaggeration, but not much  (and not always true in the long cold winter), but certainly the weather  here  can be  unpredictable, and often changes from hour to hour, and certainly day to day.  Just two days ago that  May day was filled with things of spring; Lovely blue skies and warming sun.  We moved outdoor furniture onto the deck and sat outside drinking morning coffee, enjoying the lake view.  Not so this day.
 Today   the sun is in hiding, the sky dim and grey
covering the land  like a canopy;
A canopy full of holes
unable to keep the rain away
from an already rain soaked
earth, making mud of dirt
and puddles in the newly
planted vegetable garden.
