Rain Enjoyed

Teeth cleaning accomplished I drove home and the promised rain fell. Before I got to Abbot St I had to turn the windshield wipers on fast to allow me a clear view of the street. What a wonderful reprieve I would have from sprinkler duty at the rate the rain fell. However that was not the case. Although there were puddles by the curb there was no evidence that my yard had been well doused. I nuked a Weight Watchers Salisbury steak, sat eating it in the sun porch and more rain fell. So I read some more. When the rain stopped I decided I could walk in the back yard. Rain came and went as the clouds passed over. The sun just begins to warm the earth and over passes another cloud and more rain. I hope that happens over and over. I will gladly postpone a walk for another day – or two – or more. Just sit back and consider answers to my childhood question: “Oh what’ll I do, oh what’ll I do, on a rain, rain, rainy day - when the old folks are away?” My imagination conjured pleasant things in those days of yore and so it does today. Except I am the only “old folk” here to appreciate this rainy day.
