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….
