Rain

Of course it's raining and it's going to rain all week. Tomorrow I'm taking my mother to my brother's and then I'm heading out on Thursday for some R&R at my daughter's in Massachusetts.

Perhaps we should do what the people in Fairhaven, in the rainy Pacific Northwest do: have an annual Rain Festival. Unfortunately, their last such event was spoiled by a plague of sunshine. What rotten luck.

The willows near the pond are heavy with rain. I had planned to sneak out tonight and cut/steal some willow branches to weave a "protection shield" for my daughter's house. I will be going out there on Thursday, so I still have time when I get back from my brother's tomorrow. Unless it's raining then as hard as it is now.

it's raining, it's raining
I can't help my complaining

    What we wouldn't give for some of your rain! Send some over here - we are in serious drought.

    Salem used to have a Rainmaker Day Parade on July 12, only day of the year in history that it hasn't rained. Parade is defunct, but the day still lives in all its infamy.
