Drops of Rain…


 


Forward they do come,


Followed by their brethren from the south,


Attached they are to a hurricane that did succumb,


To the cooler temps and drier air of the Appalachian chain,


Dropping most of its fury on the south and gulf,


We here in the north do not fear its eventual engulf…


 


Power of Nature we herein again desire to view,


The first rain we have had in ten days about to make its debut,


Always do we need the rain, we are well overdue,


Stating to mom Nature a total and complete thank you…


 


Wind it is expected, nothing left of Jeanne,


Just rain showers and clouds coming on our scene,


Here’s hoping that the coming rain does not make my home a submarine,


If that should happen life could change to a more obscene routine…

"obscene routine" indeed, Ed!! Then again, you've been wishing to go to sea, just not UNDER it, eh? hehe... Sigh, we're nothing but sunshine, lollipops and rainbows every day... oh, wait, sorry... I never like that song! Could you maybe fill a couple of buckets and throw it at me? Thanks. I really enjoyed this one. katy xox.

Holy Hurricane - if your motor home becomes a submarine, please notify me immediately - I will will sign up as a crew mate. I took Rebecca on a submarine ride once in the Bahamas; she got claustrophic; I loved it - being able to see all that magnificent sea life - down at their level - fascinating, indeed.

Can my two mutts come, too??!!
