Rainy Day Monday

 I love rainy day Mondays!   What a magnificent day of the week to rain.  Rain is a good thing.  I love the smell of it, the sound of it and gheez the very fact that we cannot very well live without it.  The Bible uses rain and water as symbols of life and power.  I use it as fun !   It fills up my pool, my yard turns into the jungle it was ment to be and tubing down the Medina River,  Frio River , or mighty Guadalupe is better than any Theme park ride anyday ever !     Rainy days and Mondays always make me cry...Ummm Nope, not this girl.  Singing in the rain, oh yes.  I don't know why I see people, well usually always grown-ups running in the rain.  Are they running away from it?  I kinda don't think running in the rain will keep you from getting wet.  In fact I would tend to think you might stay drier if you walked cause running causes those puddles to splash really big, all up and over your shoes and sometimes even to your knees if you run like I do.  Puddles of mud are a wonderful byproduct of rainy days as are loud croaking toads, and resultant tadpoles.  Go sing in the rain and jump in a mud puddle while you still can.  This is Texas and you never know when we will have another chance.  Thanks for Buckets of Rain-Bob Dylan, and Who'll Stop the Rain- CCR, I sure like those Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head-BJ Thomas.  kisses                 Photography by Michael Jameson
