it rained again today



the earth is full
full to overflowing
and what can't be absorbed
is standing in puddles, waiting

the grass is thick and green and wet
wildflowers blooming
butterflies busy fluttering by

new birds I've never seen before
making themselves at home in our abundant fields of green

it's best to enjoy this
the cool days
the endless rain
the puddles
the sheer wetness of it all

because after all this Oklahoma
and it won't last

I'm glad you are taking it in stride and trying to see the good in it. I can't imagine this much rain in OK. I've only known the summers as hot and humid.

You have my weather and I have yours.

96 here yesterday
the world on fire.
My deck plants curse me even though I water them twice a day.

Weather is messed up everywhere it seems.
