I don't mind weather - thank goodness since I moved to Oregon... - rain sure bring it on! - I have rain gear really good rain gear in fact no matter what type of weather I'm out doin' chores every morning and evening... I'm warm and dry I know how to dress for the stuff... we have houses for animals to get cover and aside from tearing up the ground a bit and having to move them in the rain... no worries right.. ?? NOT THIS WEEK!
this week the rain is officially cramping my style!! Duane said perhaps this coming weekend we could try my plow - I was thinking with all that dry weather there are a few spots on my place I could drag a plow just to give her a trial run with out it being pure 'soil sacrilege'! well with this freggin rain this week that slim hope is flickering out FAST!! look at this forecast people!! eshhh .. wishful thinking... --- sigh!
bummer - perhaps try this on for size - I dont mean to minimize just offering a different point of view through the words of a friend.
ReplyDeleteLast Night the Rain Spoke to Me
Last night
the rain
spoke to me
slowly, saying,
what joy
to come falling
out of the brisk cloud,
to be happy again
in a new way
on the earth!
That’s what it said
as it dropped,
smelling of iron,
and vanished
like a dream of the ocean
into the branches
and the grass below.
Then it was over.
The sky cleared.
I was standing
under a tree.
The tree was a tree
with happy leaves,
and I was myself,
and there were stars in the sky
that were also themselves
at the moment
at which moment
my right hand
was holding my left hand
which was holding the tree
which was filled with stars
and the soft rain –
imagine! imagine!
the long and wondrous journeys
still to be ours.

What does the rain have to say in Gaston these days?
Love you so

I so identify with you, Clare. I think I am growing web feet here "sunny" CA. Our forecast looks just like yours.... sigh. At least I don't have little people at home that have cabin fever.
