Splish Splash Bath

~
splish splash I was taking a bath
wind and rain goin’ on the warpath
got me shaking in my boots
they’re tearing out my roots
better to hide inside than jive
lest we lose the joy of being alive
oh me oh my, the rain is hard
stuck inside with my bard
~
We had torrential rains a few weeks ago with crazy wind and heavy rainfall. The lakes, land, and gardens were gratefully recharged. During the rain, I kept thinking about going out to walk and play. Sadly I didn’t, but North Watt, a local photograpaher and stone balancer, captured the beauty of rain dancing off pavement.
May we always find ways to dance and play.
writing to freedom 
Yes, indeed, Brad. May we always.

I love It, Brad!!
What great fun…you may not have gone out in the rain physically, but it is so obvious you did in your mind!!
I love walking in the rain though I rarely get to do it because I live in the lightning capital…and we usually have cloud to ground…all around!
Have a great week!

Thank you for picking up on the playing in the rain in my mind Lorrie! It was almost as much fun as the real thing! There is very little risk here other than getting wet. 🙂 Today is my play day after 5 work days!

You reminded me of a fun song I remember so well…..it made me smile. It seems that everywhere is experiencing extremes in weather….but as you say at least your water has been replenished. Thank you Brad for a lovely post. Janet 🙂

That sounds fun Isis. What is the tempo? Hot and tempestuous, jazzy, or jumpin’ jive? 🙂

Lovely poem about the wet and rain, brad. The torrential rain certainly caught your attention and inspired you…not a bad thing to be stuck indoors when it’s wet outside some times. Hope you are well and get to go out and about soon 🙂
