What are Rose and Michelle doing?

W: Oh, look at the sky, Michelle! It’s starting to get cloudy.
M: I see it. I hope it doesn’t rain. I thought it was going to be a fine day today.
W: That’s certainly what the department was hoping for when they chose today as the date for the annual picnic.
M: You can’t have a picnic without good weather. You need sunshine for all the eating and games and entertainment.
W: Yeah, sunshine but not too much! Do you remember last year?
M: I sure do. It was so hot that all we did was look for shade, look for ways
to escape from the sun.
W: And no one wanted to participate in any of the planned activities. All we wanted was cold drinks. And then we dozed off.
M: If there had just been the tiniest breeze to cool us off.
W: But there wasn’t. Just that burning sun, without a cloud in the sky, and the temperature just seemed to climb higher and higher.
M: Well, we don’t have that problem this year, apparently. Roben, did you hear the weather forecast? It is supposed to rain?
W: I don’t know. I didn’t catch the weather report. But maybe if it rains, it will only be a short shower which cools things off a little. That might not be bad.
