A wet path bathed in spring rain
Dubie's Thought of the Day:

The snapping sound of rain
Falling through oak leaves

All an invitation to let today
Take care of itself
For just a little while longer

Hunting chipmunks in the yard

In the humid air
A thunder clap waits to sing
Welcoming the rain
Anticipation
A smothering wet blanket
Makes for a long day

Sir Farley Hambane the Contemplative.

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

This is the mark of a failed system ready to serve as the compost for what comes next.
