Drip, drip, drip.....

Monday, Monday....
Yesterday got up around 8O0......T’day is overcast ‘n balmy ‘n the temp ain’t gonna go that high ‘cuz there’s another storm a-comin’.....yessireebob, more rain ‘n snow on the mountain...but that’s alright....soon enuff it’ll be hotter than hot ‘n ev’ry day’ll be the same ‘n all the green grasses will go brown (California Gold) ‘n some fool’ll toss a cigarette (or more likely commint a deliberate act of arson) ‘n the sirens’ll scream while the Golden State tries again to burn itself up....(Hey, we don’t do half-way things here)...We blanket the mountains with snow, turn the valleys into lakes, then reverse everything with mudslides, wildfires, earthquakes ‘n drought....
Tuesday Morning.....
Woke up to the steady drip, drip, drip of a Spring rain...
One ‘a those soft rains, y’know what I mean....the gentle stuff that falls straight, no wind a’tall...The temp drops when it rains here....Oh, I guess it does back East as well but in mem’ry, East Coast rains seem a lot warmer than northern California rains....still, it ain’t really cold this morning but there’s a bit of a chill.....Dirk Verdoorn sez, “You’re gonna wake up in the ‘50’s ‘n it’s gonna warm up slowly but prob’ly not much more that low 60’s”.....That’s alright, the rain’ll keep things green longer ‘n I ain’t got around to cutting down the use’ta be knee-hi but now they’re growing taller weeds in my south forty...It ain’t that I really, really hate yard work, it’s just that I don’t much like it....it’s sort of like that teacher y’had way back when, the one that hated their job, hated their students ‘n piled on the homework so’s they didn’t have to really teach anything....it wasn’t that you actually hated that teacher, it was just that you tried your best to avoid them....that’s the way I feel about yard work....it’s just something that must be done ‘n if you don’t have the money to hire it done for you, well.........c’d be worse, I s’poze, in the old days before people had cars, they had horses ‘n horses, like dogs, consider the whole world to be their bathroom...
And if you’re won’dring at all how I got from Spring rain to horse shit, let me just say that it’s early, early in the morning ‘n I think I’ll go back to bed.....
