Christy Woolum/Gathering Around The Table posts: While all of us are wondering if we will see sunshine two days in a row this summer, I have to say there are advantages to this cooler weather that has gripped the inland empire.

• 1. I have seen the most spectacular rainbows ever... even some double rainbows.
• 2. Weeding and deadheading have been postponed way too many times.
• 3. Photos turn out better on cloudy days.
• 4. The roses have never had more buds or bigger blossoms than right now.
• 5. I figured out my back windshield wiper on my car needs replacing. How would I have known?
• The rest of Christy's top 10 list here

Question: Can you think of any other cool things about the rainy weather that continues to hang around?
