"Rain, rain go away"
We are still getting lots of rain here, it seem to just keep on pouring.
Here a just a few pictures from yesterday, the happenings on the homestead.
~~~~~~
Rain( seems to go with all this rainy weather, and besides I love Shel Silverstein's poetry!)
"I opened my eyes
And looked up at the rain,
And it dripped in my head
And flowed into my brain,
And all that I hear as I lie in my bed
Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.
I step very softly,
I walk very slow,
I can't do a handstand--
I might overflow,
So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said--
I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head. "

ReplyDeleteSnow... oh yes, used to live in Minnesota as a girl of 7. Blizzards. Now Im almost 37, and live in Texas. It is October, and almost in the 80s! So much for snow!:) Blessings on your day

Hi Rosie,
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures....I always enjoy it very much when you post pictures from around your homestead. Those dresses for the little girls are adorable!!
Do you all still use Mrs. Meyers products? I have used them before, but they can get to be a little pricey. But, oh my, they smell so good.
Wishing you a blessed and happy day.
Cathy
We adore the West Ladies! We have all their dvd's!
ReplyDeleteJulia is a very fast seamstress! They are adorable jumpers!
I guess the rain took away your bit of snow....
We are due for a major storm, in a matter of minutes, here. It's going to have a lot of rain, as well! I bet your household is just itching to get outside, huh? :)
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your drawings! :)
I have already entered the giveaway over at the West's blog! I have them on my blogroll and saw when they made the post! :) Thank you so much, for sharing it, though!
I hope sunshine and happiness are yours in abundance, soon!
Rain, rain, come and visit me - I like you a lot! Although I can't complain - it is a beautiful day here. Bright and sunny, with a nice cool autumn breeze. Love y'all! Raquel XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
ReplyDeleteRainy days make us slow down and do the things that need doing, and to step back and relax a bit more. You did that today. beauty all around us.
