Song for the day:

[capri0mni]

Taken from the Mudcat Cafe Digital Tradition folksong database:
IT RAINS (round)

(1) It rains when it wants to rain, and
(2) Rains its rainy course, and
(3) When it thinks it's rained enough, why
(4) Then it stops, of course.

Guess what the weather's been like the last two days?

Yesterday evening, my neighbor mowed my lawn... 24 hours later, the grass is looking shaggy again.

Reminds me of the lyrics from the Paul Simon song Further to Fly (From his Rhythm of the Saints album):

The open palm of desire
Wants everything
It wants everything
It wants soil as soft as summer
And the strength to push like spring

Oh, that strenth to push like spring is Amazing!

I once came across a book called the Encyclopedia of Angels, wherein one tidbit said that some believe that every blade of grass has an angel watching over it, whispering "grow."

They weren't whispering this week, but shouting...
