When it's raining......

have no regrets......

Ah well, the rain came back yest’iday tho not very much...enuff to get Willie’s belly wet ‘n dirty ‘n t’day is cloudy, the wind picking up ‘n the forecast is for heavy rain t’nite....’course, it’s still dry for the moment ‘n I’d better take da boyz for another walk while it’s still dry....got some beans on the stove (Millyrose wants chili).....the big question is, do I use dried onions or get in the car ‘n go to Trader Joes ‘n get a real one...t’be or not t’be, right?.....a question for the ages....
if we get a heavy rain, it’ll knock down a lot of the blossoms...the roses up the street bloomed nicely but they’re kinda wilty ‘n ev’ry time the sun comes out for 15 or 20 minutes, the oxyalis in my yard blooms...it’s a weed, I know, but the yellow flowers are pretty ‘n later on this Spring, it knocks down easily...still, it spreads like wildfire ‘n appears to have aspirations beyond the south forty.....
Can’t complain overmuch tho’.....February in Kentucky is harsh.....well, it ain’t harsh like the far north but it’s cold ‘n wet ‘n windy ‘n more or less uncomfortable clear thru March ‘n into April altho’ it seems t’me that I can recall a few Aprils where we’d go barefootin’....well, once we were out of sight of our Moms....mostly, April was a rainy month....April showers, etc, etc....
