Drip, drip, drip...

I can

not remember

a day that it hasn't

rained in the last weeks.

Every day. Maybe not all day,

but at some point every

Single day a little

bit more

rain

has

fallen…

and that my friends is a soggy 160 for Monkey Man's Sunday 160. Hope you had a sunny weekend!

If it would ever stop raining here then maybe the lawn mowers could roll back out into the yard again. The grass is certainly happily growing, but soggy is the best way to describe my world this week. Sunshine is forecast for the day though, so I shall plan to soak up those rays this weekend (in between my children's busy social calendar - 2 birthday parties this weekend!)

Wishing you sunshine in your part of the world!

Turf Rolls on the Rock ...

Two Newfies were waiting at the bus stop when a truck went past loaded up with rolls of turf.  Jimmy said, Im gonna do dat when I win da lottery.  What's dat den? asks Mikey.  Send me lawn away to be mowed." ====================================================

The Battlefield

Creeping Charlie (weed)

Charlie

Why is it that you put on this show

for me?

Like you have some worth

with that purple hue

hmph...

Just creep 

back under the fence 

from whence you came

and trail

your damn roots 

with you

You are not welcome here.

 your showy ways

do not impress me -

nay, remind me 

that I stand no chance

against your onslaught.

I pluck 

and pull

grind dirt in toil

yet find o'ernight

you've slipped in 

another mile!

Ack, lost am I

on battlefield,

but next warpath 

I won't concede

to this other weed!

Into Jelly with thee!

Dandelions

An Offering

You are not alone

- not walking with silent steps.

I hear and catch tears 

falling behind those scarred hands,

then offer them to the rain

A Gander at Grizzly Bear

I found a new band today and I have to say that I am intrigued by them. So much so, that I watched several of their videos to get a better feel for their sound. Their music is very esoteric and great to chill out to. Their videos are all bizarre, requiring hallucinogenics to properly understand them (I suspect, I didn't experiment).

No matter, I just thought I would share. Here is the first video I watched by Grizzly Bear.
