Blessed Rain

Rainy  day, dream away

Ah, let the sun take a holiday

Flowers bathe and I see the children play

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

-- From Rainy Day, Dream Away by Jimi Hendrix


Blessed rain yesterday

Umbrella in hand as I walk to work

Chilly 

Wind — but not too much 

Just the way I like it

(Watch those slippery leaves)

Under trees it is pouring

The dirty air getting a much needed bath

The grass is joyous

Flowers are thankful

Maybe

Just maybe

We can finally put a dent

Into our awful drought

Maybe the hills can be green

For months

Meanwhile I’m happy

Nice to have nature back on our side

And I've managed to stay dry

Thanks umbrella

Thanks clouds

Thanks all around

Now if it would only last….
