Rain Rain Rain

Listening to: Guess! Rain... and thunder that's rattling the windows and vibrating the walls!

It would be really nice if this let up in time for me to drive home, but looks like it'll be an all day-er. Mom always used to say "Rain before 7, clear by 11" but danged if it didn't start after 7. It's making me want to crawl back in bed, especially considering I was woken at 5:15 (on the dot, I checked) by a blood curdling scream, followed by 3 more, not so curdling. No idea what happened - I stepped out the front door and listened/looked, but maybe someone was just woken up by a bug crawling up their nose? Who knows.

You see in the sidebar that I've added Poetry Mittens. These are from Piecework Magazine, actually printed in two different issues. I started them quite some time ago, got the ribbing and the first section of colorwork, got hung up, stowed them away in a bag. They've been rescued, the problem was solved (helps if one counts correctly, eh?), and they are moving right along.

I think I'll trudge out to the car for the pots and flowers. I surely won't melt...
