Good Day for Hay

I've been using this turn of phrase for the last couple of weeks, even the ones with a chance of rain. Naturally the rain never came, that's why my lawn is brown and my corn is rolling up. But today marks the first real chance we've had in a month for a substantial rain. Not a weak maintenance rain, an actual accumulation. Something to lift the floaters off the bottom of my rain gauge. Am I excited? Yes, I am very excited. It's Canada Day! But if I'm being honest, I'm probably more excited for the rain. I don't have plans to gather with friends or loved ones today. Not going to see the fireworks, which are only possible if we get enough rain. The amount of rain that will make the ground wet until tomorrow. Really get it good and moist a few inches down. See, I can't talk about anything else, I'm stuck on rain excitement. The moral of the story is that I'm only going to find the fireworks a distraction as I try to go to bed at ten. I'm more concerned with catching up some musings that have gone un-posted over the last week. The rain is really picking up as I write this. It's happening! I also have the weekend off, and the Monday so I should be able to get back into the swing of regular posting, assuming that I actually have things to say. I have learned in the last two months that I tend to post less when I see less people are showing up, then they show up less when there isn't hot, sizzling fresh content to devour. It's a crazy Catch 22. People use that phrase often, "I can't get a girlfriend because of my back hair, but I have back hair because I don't have a girlfriend to shave it," without really understanding the origin. I read the novel Catch 22. It was a little more gruesome that back hair. Well, a lot more. I won't review the book here, mostly because I read it eight or nine years ago and recall very little from it. Either way, I do recommend it. I burned through it in two days. I guess that is my way with books, I tend to fire through them rapidly. Well, I need to eat and sit out and watch the rains. I'm so glad the sky decided to water my plants, it was getting to be too much of a one way road where I did it exclusively all the time. This is good news. It's gonna be a good day, you'll see, good day!
