Rain – A Pondering Mind

11:22 a.m.

took a walk in the rain

to the neighborhood store

bought a some scratch tickets

and played a some lottery numbers

now wishing myself some luck

12:34 p.m.

raining by the buckets, many buckets it is. .. can add some wind into the mix

7:45 a.m.

saturday morning

rain is done

clouds are slowly

departing

looks like

a beautiful day

in the neighborhood

is in the cards

Beautiful insane in the rain. ~Jack Kerouac

Bon Mot #3

the rain doesn’t turn me into a shrinking violet.

Where Did Summer Go

The calendar that is hanging
on the says, that today’s date
is June 28, 2015.
Well, with the current temperature
of 52 F, at 8:52 pm, feels more
like October, not the early
part of summer.

Did I mention that it rained and
also windy for most of the day?
It did.

Rain Is Grace

John Updike Novelist

Born: March 18, 1932 – Died: January 27, 2009

For the past couple of nights, I have seen ads of all things: lawn care. It seems odd to show green grass, flowers, etc., when there is so much damn snow on the ground, and it looks like it will be here for quite awhile.

By the way, we’re expecting another inch to three inches tonight, and then change over to freezing rain and then just rain, early Wednesday morning.

Well Agnes, we’ll just have to grin and bare it until Its finally gone.

Quote

“A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain. ”

Snow Scene

Here in Eastern Mass., the first snow storm of the season is upon us. How much we get, is probably anyone’s guess.

The photo was taken a couple of hours after the change over from rain.

Crappy Weather

Photo was taken on the 21st, well before the worst of the storm hit late last night. Constant heavy rain and windy as all hell. Gotta love New England weather.

Buildings And Distant Fog

After a heavy down pour, the fog can be seen in the distance at 8:19 AM.

Reflection

Raindrops on the glass, and a reflection too.

What I Did On The 4th Of July

The 4th of July has come and one, but if anybody cares as to what I did on (Democracy Day, Independence Day), was watching the rain from Hurricane Arthur come down, which started shortly before noon. It came down heavy at times, but for the most part, it was a light rain. I actually enjoyed watching the rain , in between breaks of watching TV, reading a book, and a crossword. So with a stormy holiday, I kind of enjoyed it.

All in all, it was good.

And exciting.

Today The Heat Really Sucked

The heat and humidity really sucked today. At 4:00 PM, the air was so damn stifling, it like sucked the air right of you. The photo above and below were taken at 6:14 PM. The rain, or what rain fell was a short welcome relief.
