Dear Mr. Rain Clouds,
I do really enjoy you in the winter; and I realize that you have not been around this year as often as in years past, but I would really appreciate it if you would go away. My awesome husband bought me some really great shoes that I can't wear until you go away! I appreciate that you help the flowers I love grow, and fill the lakes that I love to boat on with water, but the enormous puddles of mud you leave in your wake will ruin my shoes!!! I have a weird thing about dirty shoes, so please indulge my compulsion and go away for a little while.

Thank you,

Me
