It's Raining

Something of a rarity here lately
But when it rains it pours.
Very dark clouds
are scudding briskly
across the sky.
Birds are taking a bath
in the potholes at the bottom of our driveway.
Blake is sleeping on the porch
in the rain.
I texted Dana in
San Miguel de Allende.
Is it OK for Blake to sleep in the rain?
If he wants to, she said.
We're both cold
but I guess our house is too hot for Blake.
The hills will stay green
for awhile longer.
I have a new project
to take my mind off the madness
in Washington (or wherever).
The kintting project
almost finished
is back on the shelf.
For now.
