Tired of the rain

I know that it is a good, natural, necessary and normal thing, but I am getting so very, very tired of rain. The backyard has LONG grass, but it's been too wet to cut (read - standing water in some parts of the yard, mud in the rest!), the garden remains mostly unplanted, although the lettuce, arugula, spinach and radishes that I did manage to get in the mud are coming up now, and the kids are really getting stir crazy, because it is too wet for them to play outside.

sigh.
