Summer storm
warm, pounding
loud, soaking.
Choking with laughter
we sat uncovered
Mary Poppins umbrellas blooming
as others ran from the music.
Dripping with notes of younger days
we stayed, listened
until the band ceased to play
got up, walked away
laughing at the splashing from our shoes.
Summer rain
small price to pay
for a one time happening.
Water tells the story.

Wow, it was a day almost like today, weatherwise.
July 6-8…mark your calendar…3 good bands…
“Summer rain
small price to pay”
Yes!!
D,
I love the sounds, the energy, and most of all
the memories!
so very much enjoyed!

Thanks for the read Jan. Yes, we have had quite a few stormy days here of late. I am well, except for a fractured ankle. It will prevent another “happening” this summer. Ah, but Fall is yet to coe!
