"To my surprise and my delight/ I saw sunrise, I saw sunlight/ Ooh and the sun will shine/ Yeah on this heart of mine" ~ Coldplay

For sure. I love rain, but after so much of it, the sunshine comes as a relief. How lovely it is to wake up in the morning and see the sun's rays cast through my window! It banishes all the gloom that was from the night.

The trouble with working in the summer, is you tend to miss the most beautiful of days, only to end up with the horrid weather on the weekend. What luck! So I try to enjoy my time as much as possible, when I am outside. The walks across campus from my room to the lab in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening are my little peeks at nature throughout the day. I never get tired of looking at flowers newly-budded and the trees, as they change from the light green peridot of early summer to deep dark emerald.
