Rain falls for centuries
Soaking the loose rocks in space
Sweet rain, the fire's out
The black snag glistens in the rain
& the last wisp of smoke floats up

You tide me over
With a warmth I'll not forget
But I can only give you love

Rainy Day Invitation
(viewed 28 times)
How about a Robert Frost poem for a rainy afternoon:
The line-storm clouds fly tattered and swift.
The road is forlorn all day,
Where a myriad snowy quartz stones lift,
And the hoof-prints vanish away.
The roadside flowers, too wet for the bee,
Expend their bloom in vain.
Come over the hills and far with me,
And be my love in the rain.
-- Robert Frost. A Line-Storm Song. (excerpt)

It's Going to be a Good Day
Love comes out of nowhere baby, just like a hurricane
And it feels like rain

Beach Bum
Had a great time at the beach today. Here's a longer Owen video if you just can't get enough of puppies digging in sand: Can you dig it?!

Ain't no sunshine
Sat on the concrete to take these... that'll put the fire out. :)

My delight and thy delight
Walking, like two angels white,
In the gardens of the night:
My desire and thy desire
Twining to a tongue of fire,
Leaping live, and laughing higher:
Thro' the everlasting strife
In the mystery of life.
Love, from whom the world begun,
Hath the secret of the sun.
Love can tell, and love alone,
Whence the million stars were strewn,
Why each atom knows its own,
How, in spite of woe and death,
Gay is life, and sweet is breath:
This he taught us, this we knew,
Happy in his science true,
Hand in hand as we stood
'Neath the shadows of the wood,
Heart to heart as we lay
In the dawning of the day.
-- Robert Seymour Bridges. My Delight and Thy Delight.

Birds Watching
These were all taken this morning within 20 minutes, plus some I didn't show, the blue jay and starlings, some red-winged blackbirds, a small group of dark-eyed juncos, Carolina wrens, mourning doves, and overhead I saw 2 migrating flocks of Canada geese, and one of snow geese.
1 & 2 Northern Cardinal, male, female
3 Common Grackle
4 Brown-headed Cowbirds
5 Song Sparrow
6 & 7 White-throated Sparrow
Busy busy birds! I really only went out because I saw the Northern flicker (woodpecker) in a tree across the street, ended up missing that one but stayed for the show. :)

Tip-toe onto the Tulip Tree
I thought this bald eagle was carrying a fish, but it was just his huge rear end... It was still very exciting. :)
