The Rain will explain

The rain falls mainly on top of my head as I walk around the back yard in the dark of this rainy Monday morning. In my nightgown. I was surely not expecting this downpour - although we need it and so do my plants at school. I won't have to spend and hour watering them.

So, of all the mornings why won't the dogs get their business done ASAP. No - nope -nada!!!!! They do this to me to push me over the edge of the cliff that I cling to with both hands. Cliff climbing or hanging on to for my life is not one of my strong points. Neither is wandering around the backyard at 4 AM in my flimsy nightie waiting for the dogs to take a pee.

No need to take a morning dip in the pool because I am currently soaking-sopping wet. Have the dogs done their duty? No.......How many times will this take for just a little tinkle from them and then the big one? I am more concerned with the big one than the tinkles. Our schedule is off.

Monday morning begins with a bang or more precisely a damp and dreary atmosphere. Why is this morning rain such a mystery to me? Oh yeah hubby had the T.V. on basketball games all day - so no news. I'm needing a T.V. in the computer room.

Business Bust

I'm a little confused (more so than normal) disenchanted (my bubble is bursting) and sad. My new business venture may not be profitable. I had devised my new business venture after years of camping in the rain. I know that every time I go camping (tent camping) it rains. We can have a drought for months and the very weekend I put up that tent the downpour begins.
So I thought I could start a rain making business and travel from town to town, set up my tent and the rain would come. I would have charged big bucks to perform this ritual. I would receive gigantic bonus's just like all the AIG suits. A term I learned while working for a large company. I also learned never to call one of the important guys 'the suits'. Unfortunately this will not be my lifestyle and the plans for this news business have been tucked away in the back recesses of my mind.
Today on the local news weather report they are calling for a 30% chance of rain and I will not be going camping. Someone does not want my business venture to succeed and it is not the government but that cruel friend Mother Nature.

The rain gods must be crazy

In the past few months it has rained once. Once!! My brown grass has shriveled up and run off with the last wind storm. My flowers are just a faded memory. The water police make daily rounds to insure no one is watering their now brown dead lawns.
My umbrella and rain gear have been packed away and I cannot remember where? I have asked the rain god for nourishment in the past but not this weekend.
Today as I searched the Florida skies for white puffy clouds all I saw was darkness.
We have been house bound with illness, company and house work for what seems like forever. Last weekend we planned a camping trip. Oh yeah!!!!! Let the rains begin.
Something to expect just like when the sun rises in the East - when we go camping it rains.
