Rainy Days

We’ve had quite a bit of rain around here in the last week or so.

Of course, it’s never exactly enough…

for me.

That is, unless it’s flooding up onto the sidewalk.

Even then, the look of it pouring down…

the sound of it pounding on my metal roof…

and most of all the smell of it–

that makes me want to stand on the porch until I’m soaked–

it just makes me soooooo happy.

I kinda think it makes my yard is happy too.

Heh, heh.

 

 

Batman Day!

Because we have a few Batman lovers in our family–of course we know that the third Saturday in September is always–Batman Day. 

The date is officially to commemorate the first Batman comic book being released in 1939. No, I wasn’t around for it. Har, har. But I have seen allllll the other versions.

But the first comic is certainly not why we celebrate it.

We…

just…

plain…

love…

the…

Batman.

Always have.

Always will

 

 

Not In Vain

Tracy in Kenya

If I can stop one heart from breaking,

I shall not live in vain.

If I can ease one life the aching,

Or cool one pain,

Or help one fainting robin

Unto his nest again,

I shall not live in vain.

~Emily Dickinson
