It Sure Ain't Raining Daffodils
~*Marge Tindal*~

Pelting down
all around
raindrops
on my roof
sounds like
herds of buffalo
pounding on the hoof
No gentle drops
are dripping
on the window sill
It's raining buckets
of the stuff
and it sure ain't daffodils

*Poetic 'pologies to Robert Loveman
author of April Rain

Jeffrey~
I like the way you light up with *smiles*

Nan~
Just buckets
and buckets
and buckets !
I love the rain .. but this
is of Noah proportion !
Somebody send me a rainbow !

Martie~
I love the rain .. but this
is REALLY a downpour.  We do need
it and I usually say that when God
sends rain .. rain's my choice.
Oh the flowers will enjoy it for sure
if they don't drown !

Can you imagine those little Phlox
with life perservers on ?
LOL !  
You all are the greatest !
Love from rain-pelted Florida.

Well I been jumpin' but it ain't been puddles, it's been hurdles through my own soaking daffodils. I don't know if I can ever save face. Darn, I'm still so embarrased. Have the Rolling Stones been through lately..? I'm looking for the Beggars Banquet.

Still blush red.

Thank you for the reply.

Seymour~
Oh, yes ... wanted to play yesterday
and darn near drowned trying.
Gathering daffodils today !  
A little soggy, but they survived
with their little life preservers intact.

Devina~
Look up ... it's a flower ?
No, no ... I think that's supposed to
be 'pennies from Heaven' !  
It rained enough to buy flowers for sure.
Love you and your smile.
