Sometimes you just have to make do with what you've got at the time. If it is very cloudy or hazy, that can actually a very good time for other types of photography. It can really make colors in flowers sing since there isn't so much mid-day glare on them.

You can also try reducing the amount of sky that is in your landscape photos. Put the horizon near the top of the frame, or make landscape details more prominent.

Finally, you can try to expose the image so you can retain texture in the sky. A graduated neutral density filter can help with this, or simulating it in post processing with a gradient mask technique.
