it's a rainy day here - miserable, dark and stormy. it seems that march does not want to go out with a whimper but a growl...putting an end to the myth regarding in like a lion out like a lamb. the clouds are laden, pregnant with unwept rain and the claps of thunder are leashed back from their wild cavorting.
a break in the torrents of water has come and i think about what to do to get out of the house. three days i've spent by my e-mails and telephone and today i'm declaring my spring break. i want boots to stomp the puddles and a bicycle to scream out freedom - - as loud and long as wallace. the trees sway and leaves drip, drip, drip, drip streamlined bars to line a household prison.
fettered, chained, cramped...no more, not today - maybe tuesday or wednesday, some other responsible day. thursday sounds important enough with its harsh tones and timeclocks that must be met before the next weekend of freedom. but today is saturday and we must all fly away.
Sounds great! I would love to fly away!
ReplyDeletei love your poetic words today.
ReplyDeletei'm rather enjoying the rain today - i have so many indoor projects i need to accomplish - this rain is good.

ReplyDeletewhy o why am i at my computer again today! must get out there soon, too.
I'll fly with you Char! Great thing about rain is that it leaves everything so lush and green when it's over.
ReplyDeleteYou're a great photographer and writer. I loved the imagery you used to describe the day.
ReplyDeleteenjoy yourself today, char!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautifully written post...so poetic...hope the rain goes away.OR not if the words flow like that when it rains... :-)
ReplyDeleteWe're having the same kind of day today with a call for snow tonight. We're planning on bundling up and walking for miles.
ReplyDeleteHere in far northern NY we have had an almost summery day,... temp got to 68 degrees! I "flew away" myself to wander the yard, and the long driveway out through the woods,.. the sounds and smells of spring are wonderful today. I hope you got out to enjoy too.
ReplyDeleteohhh how I want your rain instead of the snow that has just started coming down....
ReplyDeleterain boots anytime=love
snow boots the end of march=YUCK
I am always the odd duck who loves the rain. Now that I live with all this snow it is even more so. I would rather have rain. =]
ReplyDeleteWe flew away today and took a drive--so glad we did! The weather was termed by the newsman as "constant, soaking rains"...and that is just what we got, ha! It was wet and green and glorious out there--will share photos on my blog soon. :)
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful post! such fantastic words. and i echo your sentiments wholeheartedly.
ReplyDeletethe sun finally came out against our dark stormy sky around 7pm and a beautiful rainbow accompanied it. yes, tomorrow will be good. :)
Sending sunshine and hugs from paradise! I wish I could photograph close up. I try but I fail. Shots like yours inspire me to keep trying! Jen
ReplyDeleteOh char, I hope you took off and flew away :D
ReplyDeleteSuch magical words, I am with you on March going out like a lion for sure, but the sun is melting the snow here and I am ready for a wonderful week ahead :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Sunday!
