Rain, rain, go away - not really

I realize that without the rains we would be in deep trouble. Drought is a terrible calamity, and if it does not rain during the rainy season, the water tables will be lowered and that is not good. But when the ground is soggy and the driveway is sloppy and you cannot walk across the yard without sinking up above the soles of your shoes, you just yearn for a little dryness. And then when it gets dry, we will be doing just the opposite. We are great complainers, are we not?
