Rain, Rain, Go Away, Come Again Another Day

I love the rain. When I was a child I remember one spring day dancing around in the front yard singing "Rain, Rain, Go Away, Come Again Another Day" as the spring rain drops fell all around me. I played for what seemed like hours that day in the rain. When I finally went in I was soaking wet, chilled to the bone and happy as a lark.

I love the rain. This past week we took our camp trailer up to Island Park to put it on our lot. It had been raining and we knew things would be too wet to put it on the usual spot but we backed it up into what we thought would be a dry enough area to park. Needless to say, the camp trailer is there to stay until we can put it in it's usual spot for it will take some creative work to get it out from where it is parked. Even though, sleeping in the trailer as the rain falls on top of the metal roof is a relaxing sound. The fresh clean air as you open the door in the morning is refreshing and revitalizing.

I love the rain. The beautiful green of the plants and the vibrant colors of the flowers when there has been a lot of rain in heaven sent. My garden grows better when nature produces alot of fresh water from the sky. The grass is greener and seems thicker when there has been a lot of rain.

I love the rain. All in All, I will be glad for a few days of sunshine. Then it can rain again to bring the freshness to the air, give the plants a lovely watering and freshen the thickened grass.

Ages Ago

It has been ages since I last posted--of cource you all know that. Lots has happened including I forgot my password to get to this blog. I have retired from teaching and am getting used to be in charge of my own time. I have read a lot of books, done some geneology, enjoyed being with family and have gotten some much needed little jobs around the house done.

I am finding I really enjoy being in charge of my own time. I am having to learn how to use it wisely for there are days that go by that I could accomplish nothing at all but getting up and dressed for the day. I descided to substitute teach for extra money and it is nice to say, "No, I can't today, sorry."or "Yes, that would be great."

The books I have read have varied in genre. I read The Book of Morman in less that thirty days and got more out of that reading than ever before. Two favorite books have been I Am David and The Hiding Place. There have been dozens of others and each has given me oppertunities to reflect on different parts of my own life.

I am into spring and have gone overboard on purchasing plants and seed. I do this all the time but this year I really went all out. Now I have to find places to plant all that I have accumulated. I am proud to say I have peas, lettuce, and radishes coming up.

My greatest joy this year has been time I have spent with my grandchildren. I have watched closely the growing up of our youngest granddaughter and that has given us great joy. I get to spend a couple of day a week with two other grandchildren (if I'm not subbing.) and that has been fun.

Best of all I am getting to know my spouse a little better each day. He too retired so we are together a lot. He is a pretty neat man. He makes me laugh and he make me think. Love him dearly. Oh, I have my days when I wish I had time alone--but they pass and the next day is much better.

I am loving life.
