Playing in the rain

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

You are cleaning out the cobwebs in this dusty old memory of mine.

Anyone remember when it rained while the sun was shining, the old folk saying it meant the devil was beating his wife?

They said if you put a stick in the ground, bend over and listen, you could hear her crying.

If the old folks shared this with you when you were a child. Did any of you hear her crying?

I was grinning from ear to ear. Granny used to tell us that about rainy sunny days. This was one of them. Lol

I had never heard about the stick and hearing her until now.

I do like the sound of gentle rain on a humid day (especially in a .mil canvas tent). Puts me right to sleep.

I have a metal roof on my front porch. I love laying out on my chase lounge and napping to the sound of the rain hitting that metal roof.

A tent is cool too, no doubt.

It was just the old folks way to punk the kids.

The kids out in the rain, listening to a stick, with their butts in the air, getting their butts wet.
