Rain, Rain, Go Away

It’s been raining for two weeks straight now, with no sign of Indian Summer.  Normally I love fall, with its crunchy dry leaves, but the leaves are all wet and brown.  Or at least as far as I can tell, standing under my umbrella, peering over my foggy glasses and singing “Rain, rain, go away…”



(I'm double-dipping, participating in G-Man's Friday 55 and Poets United's Thursday Think Tank!)

  1. Seriously?! Two weeks of rain already? That seems early, but I wouldn't really know. Cute story though! :)

    P.S. I love your new Deviant Art photo/ad. Awesome. It caught my eye right away.

  2. Send the rain to us down here in Louisiana (or to my neighbor, Texas)! We've had about an inch of rain all summer.

    Calm down, cowboy. It ain't officially Fall until tomorrow. ;-)

  3. Rain and fall go together, sometimes, I think. But you're right, it is the crisp cool dry days we remember and love the most, isn't it?

  4. Please send the rain this way. We had 2 brief rains here in the desert all summer.

    What part of Michigan do you live in?
    Be that as it may, I'm so glad that it inspired you back to the Friday Funfest!
    Excellent 55 Eric
    Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End

  10. I LOVE your profile photo - wish we'd had that one for your interview! It's raining here, too. I love it - except for the fact of four wet doggies tracking it indoors:)

  15. Or you could change your attitude and sing "I'm singing in the rain" while dancing around with your umbrella... doesn't that sound more fun?

  17. Oh I agree, too much rain is as bad as not enough. Hope it stops raining there for you!

  18. Sounds as though you live near us. Wettest September since 1916 apparently.

  19. Think it's going to take more than 'rain rain go away'!

  20. I agree with Morning AJ--have you tried sacrificing a chicken at midnite or something?

  21. I sang the same thing from March to May, when it was raining almost every day during summer. Why don't you try the sun dance?

  22. I like your 55, but, like you, I dislike rain when in the mood for Indian Summer. So far (knock wood) we appear to be heading into a decent Indian Summer, after having had a miserably rainy first half of summer. Nope, I am not ready for the drizzly stuff yet. I hope you get a reprieve!

  23. I can see you standing there under your umbrella. Hope sunshine and Indian Summer comes your way soon. Sun shinning here this morning!! A new day, a new outlook, a fresh start.
