RAIN RAIN GO AWAY


Do you see those dark clouds? Rain. Wind. More rain.

I AM FED UP WITH THE RAIN!

Because Way Down In Mayberry is in the foothills, we have been spared the flooding. Most cities near us have not. The rivers have flooded. Homes are being destroyed. Wildlife nesting grounds are under water. And still, mother nature continues to dump the rain in our arid, desert-like surroundings.

I was discussing this the other day with my friend, the Analyzer. Ms. Analyzer grew up in a part of the country that rains nearly all of the time. She explained that she enjoys the rain and will garden, play and take walks in the rain. I explained to her that I detest the rain. I must have some sort of S.A.D. disorder where the weather affects my personality. I told Analyzer that all I want to do when it rains is to curl up with a good book and drink hot tea.

Christian overheard this conversation and by the time I hung up the phone, he had a Harry Potter book and a hot cup of Earl Grey waiting for me. How sweet is that?

Send him down here......I ALWAYS need a book and hot cup of tea. Besides I'm in the 500 year flood zone and if the water by
Glenwood bridge goes any higher, I believe last year must have been 499.
