Rain

[plural]

Mmm
I love the rain
guess it is no surprise being that I grew up mostly in Seattle

I have a deck off my dining room, theres one off the entertainment room in the back
but I don't use it much, I have one of those retractable awnings that covers the deck
I like to sit out under in the rain
and relax

drink some wine
smoke a cigar
left my thoughts flow
perhaps even read a book

It smells so good
I just built a cedar picket fence
it will eventually be a "white picket fence"
although not of the usual style
it is common on parts of cape cod and the islands
the smell of wet cedar permeates the air

hmm
I should probably get to bed
I need to resync my sleep schedule
as if I actually get enough sleep to call it that
to normalcy
I have been staying up till dawn
and going to sleep then

time to return to the old ways
in bed by midnight
staring at the ceiling until 5 or 6am
grabbing two hours of sleep
and heading off to work

but for now
I think
I will just sit here
a little while longer
and let the pattering of raindrops
whisper to me
